Hummus often goes out on our condiments table and nicely compliments the curry or the pasta salad depending on whether its a lunchtime or evening distribution.
Making hummus in our kitchen requires in excess of 25kg of chickpeas and litres of tahini. But dont panic we have scaled down the recipe so you can make it for a family dinner or for a few friends!
We often like to add a few extras bit and pieces, some ideas include, roasting red peppers and blitzing them in the other ingredients to make a delicious red pepper hummus or sprinkling some nuts/seeds/coriander on top.
Ingredients:
250g of cooked chickpeas
70ml tahini
1/2 teaspoon cumin
30ml lemon juice
50ml water that the chickpeas were cooked in
2 garlic cloves
2 spoons olive oil
2 oven roasted red pepper (optional)
harissa paste (optional)
chilli powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Method:
Add it all to a blender and blitz it together until it reaches a consistency your happy with!
Taste it and adjust to your preferences. RCK loves a garlicy hummus and so goes heavy on the garlic part!
