Healthy Hummus Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tin chickpeas* (240g drained)
- 1 heaped tbsp (20g) tahini - creamed sesame seeds**
- 1/2 cup (105g) low fat natural/plain yoghurt
- 2 chopped/crushed garlic cloves
- juice from 1 lemon (or 2 tbsp lemon juice)
- 1/2 tsp salt (essential!)
- OPTIONAL: 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tbsp olive oil and/or 1 roasted red pepper
Instructions
- Put the chickpeas, tahini, yoghurt, garlic, salt, lemon juice and any optional extras such as roasted red pepper or cumin into a food processor or blender***
- Blend! And if you would like a smoother hummus then add 1-2 tbsp of the chickpea water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve with raw carrot batons or toasted pitta bread and enjoy!
Notes
*Keep some of the chickpea water for a smoother consistency. You could also try swapping 1/2 of the chickpeas for white beans (cannellini beans) for a slightly different taste/texture.
**If you can't find tahini paste (some supermarkets don't stock it, you can use 2 tbsp of sesame oil)
**I use [this blender] from Sage!
