Brown Chickpea Hummus

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup of uncooked chickpeas or 3 cups of cooked chickpeas.

• 3 tbsp of tahini paste

• 1 lemon, juice

• 1 tsp of cumin

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1/2 tsp of salt, or as needed

• Extra virgin olive oil

• Hot water, only if needed

Directions:

1. To a food processor (or high speed blender), add chickpeas and garlic. Blitz until a puree has been formed.

2. Next add lemon, tahini, salt, cumin and a splash of hot water. Blitz until everything is combined well and forms a good consistency.

3. The next step is all about taste testing. I always suggest tasting your hummus and adding a few extras if you desire. E.g more salt, lemon, tahini?

4. Once desired hummus taste has been made, pour mixture into a bowl and serve with pita bread, carrots, cucumber or any other vegetable. Drizzle olive oil on top for garnish.
