Ingredients

  • 400g can chickpeas, drained

  • 80ml extra virgin olive oil

  • 1-2 fat garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

  • 1 lemon, juiced and then ½ zested

  • 3 tbsp tahini

  • 1 tsp Paprika

  • 1 tsp Cumin

  • Mixed crudities and toasted pitta bread, to serve (optional)

Directions

Thoroughly rinse the chickpeas in a colander under cold running water. Tip into the large bowl of a food processor along with 60ml of the oil and blitz until almost smooth. Add the garlic, cumin, lemon and tahini along with 30ml water. Blitz again for about 5 minutes, or until the hummus is smooth and silky.

Add 20ml more water, a little at a time, if it looks too thick. Season and transfer to a bowl. Swirl the top of the hummus with the back of a dessert spoon and drizzle over the remaining oil. Sprinkle with paprika.
