Trio of Dips

1/7/2017

0 Comments

 
Let's be honest, who doesn't love a good platter these days? I know I am a sucker for a good platter paired with the perfect wine and these three dips - olive, beetroot and roast pumpkin hummus - are perfect for any platter. They are also great to use as a dip for carrot/celery sticks as a healthy snack during the week.

Olive dip
Ingredients

100g of pitted green olives (you can use any type, marinated or unmarinated)
100g of pitted black olives (again, you can use any type you like)
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
 
Method

Combine all ingredients in a food processor until desired consistency
 
Roast pumpkin hummus
Ingredients

Half of a butternut pumpkin
Salt
Pepper
400g can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
Three garlic cloves
2 tablespoons of organic tahini
 
Method
Pre-heat oven to 200C and line a baking tray with baking paper
Roughly chop pumpkin into smaller pieces and add to a bowl with the chickpeas
Drizzle roughly 2 tablespoons of olive oil on pumpkin and chick peas and season with salt, pepper and paprika
Peel garlic cloves and lightly crush with the back of your knife and add to the bowl
Toss to evenly coat pumpkin, chickpeas and garlic
Spread pumpkin, chickpeas and garlic evenly on baking tray and bake for 20-30 minutes
Allow to cool for a few minutes before placing all ingredients in the food processor, followed by the tahini and remaining olive oil until desired consistency has been achieved
If the hummus seems dry, add some water in small amounts at a time until hummus becomes more moist
 
Roasted beetroot dip
Ingredients

4 small beetroot
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
2 tablespoons of natural yogurt
Juice of half a lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
 
Method
Pre-heat oven to 200C and line a baking tray with baking paper
Coat beetroots in coconut oil and place on baking tray
Roast for 45-50 minutes
Allow beetroots to cool, then peel the skin and discard
Roughly chop beetroots and place in food processor with yogurt, lemon, salt and pepper
Adjust amounts until you have the taste you prefer and serve
