Karen's Easy Hummus

I never dreamed I’d ever make my own hummus then one day I just thought I’d give it a go & it’s so easy! What I love about this recipe is you can get creative, adding your own favourite ingredients when you fancy a change. It makes a delicious snack, served with breads and crudites

Serves: 4

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Method

Heat the marinade in a very small microwavable container (egg cup or similar) for 30 seconds … don’t worry how the marinade looks at this stage. Drain the chickpeas (saving some of the juice) & put into a food processor, add the rest of the ingredients & blend until smooth. Taste & add more of the ingredients to suit your desired taste. If you would like a smoother consistency add a little more of the drained juice.

NOTES

Serve with dry toasted triangles as shown or delicious with breadsticks, crackers, seeded flatbreads & of course raw carrot, celery & cucumber sticks

You can experiment with paprika, roasted garlic, pine kernels & many, many more ingredients to create your very own variety … have a go or if prefer, try a shop purchased pot & mix with one teaspoon of  marinade & the juice of half a lemon
