Hummus Recipe

I made my first batch of Hummus and I am kicking myself for not making it before!!

It is delicious, so much better than the store-bought hummus!

This Hummus is SO good - you really must make some for yourself!!

Ingredients:

400g tin chick peas (I used dried chick peas - soaked and pre-cooked by me - approx 300gms)

3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

3 tablespoons  Tahini

1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

salt and pepper

juice of 1 or 2 lemons

1/2 - 1 cup olive oil

Place chick peas, garlic, cumin powder, salt & pepper into your food processor. 

Turn processor on and pour in lemon juice first, then drizzle olive oil in. 

Blend until smooth.

* if your hummus is too thick you may need to add more lemon juice or olive oil. (I tweaked mine with a little of both several times until I was happy with the flavour - I like mine with a bit of twang- and consistency.)

Place into a bowl and pour a little olive oil over to prevent Hummus drying out.

Enjoy!
