Lebanese Hummus recipe

This simple hummus recipe is fantastic for serving with some crunchy vegetable crudites or some pitta breads. You could also smear it on a wrap before piling high with chicken and salad as it will provide a creamy base that works well in bringing lots of different flavours together.

Ingredients:

• 1 400g tin of chickpeas, drained
• 4 tbsp. sesame oil
• Garlic cloves to taste
• Lemon juice to taste
• Salt and pepper

Method of Preparation:

1. Rinse the chickpeas and either mash or blend until smooth. Stir in the oil.

2. Mince a few garlic cloves and stir in. If you like it very garlicky, add more.

3. Juice a lemon and add this. Again, if you think it needs more lemon juice, add more.

4. Season well and chill in the fridge before serving.

To make this hummus look a little more presentable before serving, swirl a little more sesame oil over the top and dot with a few roasted chickpeas. This recipe serves four people.
