I make hummus once a week, this costs half of shop bought hummus, and has a better flavour.

This recipe is not written in stone. By all means :-

• Change the chickpeas to beans
• Add whatever spice/herb you you
• Use a vinegar in place of lemon juice
• Add yeast extract or Soy sauce
• Use peanut butter in place of tahini, though tahini is a good source of calcium, as is ground sesame seeds

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic crushed
• 1 tin of chickpeas
• 1 desertspoon of lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon of tahini
• pepper

Instructions

1. Drain chickpeas reserving one tablespoon of the liquid.
2. Add the chickpeas reserved liquid, all other ingredients except for tahini to a food processor, and blend until smooth.
3. Add the tahini, add more tahini or water until you have the correct consistency for you.
