Simple houmous

Step 1

Drain and tip the chickpeas into a food processor. Peel and add the garlic, then add the tahini, a good squeeze of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of oil. Season with a pinch of sea salt, then pop the lid on and blitz. Use a spatula to scrape the houmous down the sides of the bowl, then blitz again until smooth. Have a taste and add more lemon juice or a splash of water to loosen, if needed, then transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with sliced crunchy veg, such as carrots, cucumbers, radishes or peppers, and some warm flatbreads. PRINT THIS RECIPE (UK)
