Hummus! | Day 4 of Lent!

Decided to have coffee instead of my usual cuppa this morning in order to save myself from the horrible taste, which I suppose defeats the point! Oh well!

Today was a pretty lazy Saturday, but a fun one none the less!

We decided to have a go at making our own hummus. I have always thought hummus was far too complicated to make at home, with strange ingredients which would be expensive, but I was wrong!


All you need to make this really simple recipe is;

1 tin of chickpeas
Juice of half a lemon
2 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
A little pinch of salt
2 tablespoons of tahini (optional)

(I really didn't know what tahini was but apparently it is a 'sesame seed paste', which kind of tastes like peanut butter!)





So, to bring it all together, quite simply, just wizz it all together in a food processor! Then sprinkle/drizzle on top;

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon of paprica

Bob's your Uncle! Delicious!


If you have tried this recipe, let me know how it went in the comments!
