Directions:
- 1Bring a small pot of water to the boil. Add the beetroot and cook for 10 minutes or until it is tender.
- 2Add the cooked beetroot, butter beans, tahini, 2 tablespoons of olive oil or water, spices and salt to a high-powered blender. Blend until as smooth as possible. Set aside.
- 3To caramelise the onions, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and all the onion to a large saucepan over high heat. Saute for 5 minutes or until slightly softened. Add the coconut sugar and ½ cup water and reduce the heat to medium. Cover the onion and stir occasionally. Cook the onions for 10 minutes or until they are soft and caramelised.
- 4Scoop the beetroot dip into a bowl and top with the caramelise onions. Serve with crackers, raw vegetables, crudites or as desired.
Tip:
For an extra creamy dip, cook the canned butter beans in a medium pot of water with a pinch of baking soda until the beans are extra soft and breaking apart.
