My Hummus Recipe

Looking for a quick, easy, delicious and filling snack option? You really can’t go past hummus! A great source of protein, fibre and healthy fats, it’s really easy to whip up to enjoy as a snack or bulk up your lunch salad. Tahini is simply sesame seeds ground into a paste, which provides a source of good fats and is high in calcium. Enjoy hummus on toast with eggs for breakfast, in a salad with brown rice and quinoa or as a dip with chopped vegetables like carrot, red capsicum and cucumber.

Ingredients:  

1 can chickpeas or white beans  

½ clove garlic or 1tsp minced garlic  

2 tbsp olive oil  

Juice of 1 lemon  

½ tsp salt  

1 tbsp tahini (optional)   

Method:  

1. Drain chickpeas into a sieve and rinse thoroughly until no froth appears.  

1. Place all ingredients into blender (Nutribullet works really well). You may need to add 1-2 tbsp water to help ingredients blend properly.
