Hummus

Addictive ......

Wonderful served with pita, crackers, bread and vegetables 


1 cup of chickpeas (keep the broth)
Juice of 2-3 lemons
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
2-3 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
1 cup oil (olive)

Blend drained chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, salt and tahini, slowly adding half a cup of the chickpea broth and half the oil.
Keep blending slowly adding the remaining oil

Serve piled in a dish decorated with chopped parsley, toasted sesame seeds or a few chickpeas. Pour alittle extra oil over the surface, so it shines

NOTE: Often I add basil for additional flavour

Enjoy
