Beetroot, chickpeas, kale

Ingredients for 2 portions:

  • 450g beetroots
  • 10g garlic
  • 60g tahini
  • 1 lemon
  • 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 200g Lacinato kale (Cavolo nero)
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 300g pre-cooked chickpeas
  • Nigella seeds

Methods:

  • Chop the beetroot into cubes and steam it until (mostly) tender.
  • De-stem and finely chop the kale. Add 0.25 teaspoon salt and massage the kale with your hands until it wilts and greatly reduces in volume.
  • Prepare the chickpeas (defrost or drain from the cans).
  • Once the beetroot is ready, place it in a bowl with roughly chopped garlic, tahini, cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon salt and 25g of lemon juice. Handblender everything together.
  • To serve, spread the beetroot on one side of the plate and heap the kale on the other side. Top the beetroot with chickpeas. Sprinkle everything with Nigella seeds.
