Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 1/2 cups chickpeas drained of water( 15 oz/400g can) or home-cooked (retain the water to use as aqua faba)
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 juice of a lemon fresh
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 good handfull of fresh spinach leaves

Equipment

  • food processor or stick blender

Method
 

  1. Start by rinsing the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Add all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend for a minute or two. The hummus should be light and creamy.
    1 1/2 cups chickpeas, 2 tablespoons tahini, 1 juice of a lemon, 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 good handfull of fresh spinach leaves
  3. This can also be pureed with a stick blender. It may take a few minutes but it does work - I do this all the time.
  4. Do the taste check - does it need more salt? Check that the hummus is a consistency that you like. If it seems too thick then thin it down using a little more tahini, olive oil or water
