15 ounces Chick Peas, in can with water
1 pound Beets
1 tablespoon Honey
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Lemon, juiced with Zest
1 piece Garlic, rough chop
2 ounces Queso Fresco, crumbled
2 ounces Aged Sharp Cheddar, crumbled
1 handful Basil, chiffinade
2 pieces Green Onion, sliced thin
1 piece Serrano Pepper, sliced with seeds
1/4 cup White Vinegar
Sea Salt & Pepper

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Trim stems off beets. Place on sheet of aluminum foil. Pour generous amount of olive oil and wrap. Then wrap tightly with a second sheet of foil. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until beets are fork tender. Remove from oven, unwrap and let cool. Peel skins off beets.
2
Bring chick peas to a simmer for 8 minutes. Remove from heat, cover to keep warm. Reserve water from pot.
3
Add Tahini, Garlic, Vinegar, Lemon Juice with Zest, Serrano Pepper, Honey and Beets to food processor. Process for 1 minute. Add chick peas and half of the reserved water. Process for 1 more minute. Drizzle half of the olive oil as you go. You are looking for a sour cream smoothness and texture. It should not look too grainy or chunky. Don't be afraid to let the processor or blender run for 2 minutes. Add more water as necessary. Taste and add Salt and Pepper. Season to your liking.
4
Pour hummus on to a shallow plate. Top with both cheeses, basil and onion. Drizzle with Olive Oil.
5
Great with toasted pita bread or tortilla chips.
