The recipe is simplicity itself.
Ingredients:
1 x 400g can of chick peas (reserve a few for the garnish)
2 tbsp of juice from the can
Juice of 2-3 lemons (depends on juiciness of lemons, use your judgement and adjust it to taste)
2 x garlic gloves, peeled and crushed
Large pinch sea salt (Maldon, Sicilian or similar)
Small pinch cayenne
125-150ml tahini paste
Add all ingredients except the tahini paste to a food processor.
Turn on food processor and blitz until it is uniformly smooth with the consistency of thin cream.
Leave processor running and add tahini gradually until the desired thickness is reached. I take it to a thickened cream type consistency.
Serve hummus, garnish with reserved chick peas, sprinkle with Za'tar or paprika, drizzle with olive oil and serve.
Tip: Not all tahinis are good in hummus, experiment until you find one you like. Equally, not all lemons are good in hummus: try to avoid ones that are bitter.
