I could literally live off this. I LOVE IT!!! It's protein rich and will fill you up for ages! It's the perfect dip, you can thin it down and use it as a sauce/dressing or even add it to soups/stews to thicken it and fill you up longer! Husband loves it in his sandwiches, it's great all round- a low fat, low cal version of the best dip ever!
Hummus
1 can Chickpeas (I believe they're called garbanzo beans in the US).. alternatively you can use dried chickpeas (less salt and cheaper!) but you'll need to soak the beans overnight and cook them first (a pressure cooker is a wise investment!) 1 tbsp Tahini salt & pepper lemon juice to taste or vinegar to taste (if you like) approximately 1 cup warm water Paprika ** try any spices you like! Coriander & cumin work beautifully, as does gram marsala or a good indian chili powder.
Blend chickpeas (pulse at first if you like your blender)
Add tahini
Drizzle in warm water SLOWLY until you reach desired consistency
Season to taste and add 1 tsp paprika (or more if you like)
This recipe freezes really well so if you're generally short on cooking time make a larger batch and de-frost as needed. I made 4 times this recipe and stuck most of it in the freezer! ENJOY!!! xxx
VictoriaCrimson- I'm so glad you like the last post! I figured there has to be something there for everyone! I've been cooking for 10+ years. I just starting writing down the combinations I like and couldn't stop! I have a fair few cook books, I try new things all the time and when I'm out of things I just make up new combinations or edit the old ones! Plus I get bored easily so variety is the spice of life! xxx
