Hommus
September 29, 2006 Appetizers, EASY, side, vegetarian
Mum and Dad recently visited for my graduation… yes, thank you, thank you. They are currently on a road trip up through to the top of Australia before going back down to the bottom. Teaching Mum how to make her own hummus was a bit of a departure gift for her to take along for the ride.
Personally I really like to roughly mash mine with a fork so that it looks home made in that really rustic way. But if you find the blender more therapeutic – go for it!
Makes: About a cup and a half
Prep: 10 min
Cook time: n/a if you used them tinned.
Ingredients:
1 can of chick peas (ceci)
2 large desert spoons of tahini (sesame paste)
1 clove of garlic
Juice of one lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Serve on the same plate as the main for a nice change
1. Crush the chick peas with a fork
2. Add tahini, crushed garlic, lemon juice and taste
3. You can always add more lemon or garlic for more bite as well as salt and pepper to taste.
Lasts about a week.
