EASY HUMMUS RECIPE


Quick hummus

Ingredients

  • 200g/7oz canned chickpeas

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice or more

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • pinch salt

  • 1 tbsp tahini (sesame seed paste)

  • 4 tbsp water

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 4 rounds of pitta bread

Method

Drain the chickpeas and rinse. Reserve a few whole chick peas for serving.

Combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, tahini, and water in a food processor, and blend to a creamy purée.

Add more lemon juice, garlic, cumin or salt to taste. Turn out into a dinner plate, and make smooth with the back of a spoon. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and scatter with the reserved chickpeas.

Sprinkle with paprika and serve with pita bread, warmed in a moderate oven for three minutes, and cut into quarters.
