Ingredients:

• 400g can chickpeas, drained
• 80ml extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 1-2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• Juice and zest of ½ lemon
• 3 tbsp Med Cuisine Natural Tahini

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chickpeas:

   • Rinse the chickpeas under cold water in a colander.

2. Blend the Base:

   • Place the rinsed chickpeas and 60ml of the olive oil in a food processor. Blitz until almost smooth.

3. Add Flavorings:

   • Add the crushed garlic, lemon juice, and tahini to the food processor. Add 30ml of water to help the blending process.
   • Blitz again for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and silky.

4. Adjust Consistency:

   • If the hummus appears too thick, gradually add up to 20ml more water, a little at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency.

5. Season:

   • Taste and season the hummus with salt and additional lemon juice if needed.

6. Serve:

   • Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Use the back of a dessert spoon to create a swirl on the top. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with lemon zest.
   • Serve the hummus with crunchy crudités and toasted pitta bread for dipping.

Enjoy!
