Ingredients

 

MetricImperial

• 850 g chickpeas canned
• 2 cloves garlic chop
• ½ tsp cumin
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
• ¼ cup sesame tahini See Note
• 2 large lemons juice only
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ bunch coriander chop
• salt to taste
• extra virgin olive oil garnish

Instructions

• Open the chickpea tins and drain making sure you keep the juice. It’s full of flavour.
  850 g chickpeas
• Add the chickpeas to a food processor along with the lemon juice, sesame tahini cumin, garlic, cayenne, 1 teaspoon of salt, olive oil and about ¼ of the chickpea liquid.
  2 cloves garlic, ½ tsp cumin, ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, ¼ cup sesame tahini, 2 large lemons, 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, salt
• Put the lid on and blend until lovely and smooth with a creamy texture. If the hummus is too thick, add a little more chickpea liquid and blend again. Repeat until you have the consistency you enjoy.
• Taste and season if required.
• Spoon the hummus to a dish and make a well in the centre. Drizzle a little olive oil into the well and around the dish. Add the chopped coriander and I like a little hit of paprika.
  ¼ bunch coriander, extra virgin olive oil
• Store in the fridge in an airtight container for 48 hours but always serve at room temperature. I give a little stir before serving.
• Serve with pitta, crudites, baguettes and everything else you can dip.

Notes

Sesame Tahini is a Middle Eastern condiment made from toasted ground hulled sesame.
