Hummus

Ingredients

• 1 x 220g can chickpeas
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• squeeze lemon juice
• salt to taste
• red onions (optional)

Method

1. Drain the chickpeas and reserve some of the liquid from the can.
2. Add all the ingredients except the onions to a food processor and blend to a smooth paste. Add some of the reserved liquid if you require a smoother result.
3. Thinly slice the onions and caramelise with a little butter in a frying pan. Decorate the hummus with the caramelised onions or a few whole chickpeas.
4. For a different flavour you can also blend the caramelised onions into the hummus mix.
