Hummus

Hummus is a great staple to have ready in the fridge for a pre-dinner snack with pitta bread or a quick sandwich at lunchtime. I love that you can just put all the ingredients into a food processor and in a few seconds it’s ready.

1 x 400g can chickpeas
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbs lemon juice
5 tbs olive oil
1 tbs tahini (sesame paste)
Salt and pepper to tast


Combine all the ingredients, except the seasoning, and place in a blender. Whizz to a puree, transfer to a bowl and season. Drizzle with more extra virgin olive oil and serve with fantastic warm pitta.
For a spicier hummus, you can add a sliced red chilli or a dash of cayenne pepper into the mix.
