A simple hummus that is a great snack with vegetables, spread into sandwiches or wraps for a boost of protein and fibre.
Ingredients
- 1 x 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tbsp hulled tahini
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground turmeric (optional)
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 4 tbsp water
- )ptional: cracked pepper and fennel seeds to sprinkle on top
Directions
- Prepare hummus by adding chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, cumin, turmeric, juice of ½ lemon and water into a food processor.
- Blend well until smooth. Add additional water (1 tablespoon at a time) if required to achieve desired consistency. You may need to pause the blender and use a spatula to push down any mixture that is collecting on the sides of the blender, then blend again.
- Top with cracked pepper and fennel seeds and serve alongside crudites.
Chef's Tips
- You can also add the fruit or toppings to the blender at step 2 (or 2 tablespoons cocoa) to create different nice cream flavours such as strawberry, peanut or chocolate.
- This tastes just as good as regular ice cream but is super healthy; I love it!
- Best eaten immediately as sadly it does not freeze well once blended.
- This is delicious served on wholemeal pancakes for breakfast!
