I love chickpea very much but I haven’t done hummus before, I don’t know why. It’s so easy to make and definitely tastes better and containes no preservatives than the store bought hummus. You can spread it on a slice of bread or you can eat it as a dip. Either you choose it tastes scrumptious. 🙂

I found the recipe on Emily’s blog – who makes delicious vegetarian and vegan meals.

Ingredients

– 1 can (400 g) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
– 1 cup basil leaves
– 2 tablespoons tahini
– 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
– 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon water
– salt, pepper

Method

Place basil leaves, olive oil and lemon juice in the food processor and pulse to combine until creamy. Add chickpeas, tahini, water and season it with salt and pepper. Continue to run food processor until the hummus is creamy and smooth.
