There are many ways to have a poached egg on toast. Why not get in as much goodness as possible as well as mixing things up!
Chop beetroot, wrap in foil and roast at 190C for 30-40mins until soft and tender.
Add to your food processor with the rest of the ingredients.
Blend by adding the water slowly to get the right consistency, adding more if needed, and add seasoning of salt and pepper to your taste. Blend until nice and smooth.
Sautée the mushrooms with a good splash of olive oil, salt and pepper, adding chopped garlic towards the end so that it doesn’t burn.
Prepare the poached egg and assemble the toast, hummus, mushrooms and a sprinkle of dukkah or zaatar. A sprinkle of hemp seeds works really well too. Enjoy!

Store in an airtight container or pepper grinder in a cool and dry place.
spicesPink Himalayan Salt is made from rock crystals of salt that have been mined from areas close to the Himalayas. It is one of the purest salts available and contains a range of 83 natural minerals, which cause the pink hue. Himalayan rock salt has a wide range of uses from everyday table salt, food preparation and presentation, decorative lamps and spa treatments. This type of salt is naturally organic but since it is over 85 million years old it is difficult to certify it as 'Organic' as modern organic certification is examined from the very beginning of harvesting so it would be impossible in this case, however, we know it is pure as harvesting with chemicals did not exist that long ago. Himalayan rock salt increases hydration, can help balance pH levels (acids/alkalines) and help to reduce acid reflux, prevent and aid muscle cramping, improve circulation and help detoxify the body from heavy metals. Store in an airtight container or salt grinder in a cool and dry place.
