Home-Made Hummus
Healthy savoury snacks We love, love, love hummus!! This is a fridge staple most weeks in the Soul Sister kitchen - it is excellent as a dip with crudités, as a spread on rice cakes or as a base on sandwiches and wraps. The chickpeas provide a lovely vegetarian source of protein, while the tahini is a great source of calcium - making hummus an excellent addition to any snack time. This recipe is easy, nutritious and delicious and is whipped up in 5 minutes - you will never buy store-bought again!
Ingredients
- 1 tin chickpeas drained
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- sea salt & pepper
- 1 clove garlic crushed, optional
Instructions
- Put all ingredients into a small blender/ food processor and blend to your desired consistency.
- If the dip is not smooth enough, add more EVOO or a little water. Re-blend.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil on top and a sprinkle of paprika.
