Hummus

by Jo

"Hummus is so versatile and tasty, however it can be tricky to get the balance of flavours right. The recipe below has worked well for me, however if the final result is not to your taste you alter it by adding more of your preferred ingredient. Hummus is great either as a dip with vegetables or crackers or added to wraps (like falafel rolls) and sandwiches. You will need a good blender, food processor or hand held stick blender to make this."


1 400g can chickpeas
1/8 cup water
2 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp tahini
Juice of ½ lemon
1 small garlic clove
Salt


Place all ingredients (using only a small amount of salt at this stage) in a bowl, or blender.

Blend together until smooth.

Taste and add further salt if required.

If the hummus is a little too stiff add extra water until it is at your preferred consistency.
