Steps

Prep & Toast Walnuts

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and toast for 5-7 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool, then roughly chop.

Make Hummus

In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, diced beetroot, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, 4 tbsp olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a tablespoon or two of cold water if needed to reach the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Bake Goat Cheese

Slice the goat cheese log into approximately 1 cm (0.4 inch) thick rounds. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and slightly golden at the edges.

Assemble & Serve

Spoon the beetroot hummus onto a serving plate or into a bowl. Arrange the warm baked goat cheese slices on top. Sprinkle generously with toasted walnuts and a drizzle of the remaining olive oil. Garnish with fresh parsley or mint. Serve immediately.
