I was never a fan of hummus until I was at a Cuidiu Coffee one morning when Seán was a baby and tasted Julee’s homemade version! It’s divine and so easy to make! Just throw everything in your blender and wizz! Serve with crusty bread or raw veg. Remember to pack a little in your kid’s lunch box with some carrot sticks or breadsticks. Delicious!

1 can chickpeas drained approx 240 grams/ 1 cup

1 tablespoon dark tahini paste

1 teaspoon salt

1 small clove garlic minced of chopped very finely

Juice of a whole lemon

2 glugs of rapeseed oil approx 2 tablespoons

Method

Place all your ingredients into to your blender and blend until combined and chickpeas have been crushed. I used rapeseed oil but you can also use your favourite olive oil. This recipe is also gluten free.
