Beetroot Bake and Hummus Medley

Last night I made a nice dish that I am actually rather proud of. If you ever need to impress a vegetarian then this is definitely the one for it. 


Ingredients:


(For the bake)
1 beetroot cooked, peeled and sliced thinly
4 medium potatoes peeled, cooked and sliced thinly
3 large handfuls spinach
1 onion, finely chopped
5 eggs, beaten with a little water
handful of chopped chives, sage and parsley
Salt and pepper


(For the hummus)
1 cooked, peeled and chopped beetroot
1 tin chickpeas
3/4 a cup of olive oil
1/2 a cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons tahini paste
Handful of fresh, chopped coriander
Salt and pepper



Preheat the oven to around 200C. 

Fry the onion in a pan until light brown and soft, then leave aside in a bowl. Now fry the potato slices until golden brown and set aside. Finally, fry the spinach for around 30 seconds until it is just beginning to wilt.

In a small oven dish spread a little spinach and then begin to layer; a layer of beetroot, a layer of potato, a layer of spinach and so on. 


Mix the fried onion, herbs and some seasoning with the whisked eggs and then pour over the layered vegetables. Then place in the oven for around 30 minutes or until risen and golden. 


Meanwhile, whisk together all of the hummus ingredients and leave aside until the bake is done. Serve with some toasted pitta bread :)
