Hummus Dip

Why pay up to $7 for shop or deli bought Hummus when in a matter of 5 minutes or less you can make your own?

Another gorgeous ceramic bowl and plate from Kim.A.Aitken Ceramics (available online at www.Estherandcameron.com)


Ingredients

1 x 600g can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
3 garlic cloves crushed
100ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 x Tablespoons tahini paste (this lasts for months in the fridge so worth the purchase)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup of water (or enough to give a smooth consistency)

Method

Place all ingredients (except water) into a bowl and using a stick blender or food processor combine.  Then add sufficient water and process to a smooth consistency.

Place in a serving dish and sprinkle sweet paprika or ground cumin on top.

Serve with toasted Turkish bread or crackers.

Great nutritious addition to school lunch boxes.
