Hummus
Ingredients list for 1 bowl

1 tin of chickpeas

3 garlic cloves

1 tbsp tahini

½ lemon (juice)

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Salt & black pepper

Variations

1 Lime (juice)

½ bunch of fresh coriander

1 fairly hot chilli or some jalapenos

Hummus

Savoury, nutty, tangy and creamy dip

Recipe:

Peel and crush the garlic, sprinkle with olive oil and let it infuse for 5min.

Drain the chickpeas (reserve the juice) and tip them into a food processor. Add the tahini, lemon juice, oil, garlic, a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Now let the food processor do its magic and mix. After a few seconds, use a spatula to scrape the hummus down the sides and place back in the middle of the food processor. Blitz until you get a smooth paste.

If the past is to thick, add some chickpea water or more lemon juice. Taste and if you think it needs more seasoning add some more.

Transfer to a bowl and serve.
