Houmous with pita is one of my favourite things to snack on and I always have some houmous in the fridge. Although houmous is available in every supermarket and some of these are really quite tasty, I wanted to attempt it at home. So when we had gone to a Turkish restaurant for dinner the other day, I savoured every bit of the houmous, making a mental note of all the ingredients I could taste and came up with this recipe. You can reduce the amount of garlic to just 1 clove but I personally love the garlicky taste.
Ingredients
1 400 g can of chickpeas
2 tsp tahini paste
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp water
1/2 - 1 tsp salt
Chilli powder (optional)
Method
Drain the chickpeas and add to a food processor along with the tahini paste, crushed garlic, lemon juice, salt, ground cumin and about 2 tbsp of water.
Turn on the food processor and slowly pour in the oil until it is combined. Check for seasoning.
Remove in a serving dish, drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle some chilli powder.
