Khara’s hummus

Nuush friend, Khara, went to visit her mum in Spain and was made this delicious hummus / houmous / hoummouse (never know how ya spell it!).

It’s a bit more chunky, tasty and punchy than your average supermarket fodder.

Prep time: 5 mins

Cook time: •

Servings: 4

Ingredients

400g can of chickpeas, drained (liquid reserved)
1-2 crushed garlic cloves (probs best not to plan much snogging after)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
1 heaped teaspoon of crunchy peanut butter, optional
sea salt to taste, couple of pinches
pinch of smoked paprika, optional

Instructions

Just whizz it all in a blender, adding a bit of the chickpea liquid depending what texture you like.

You can also keep a few chickpeas back to crush roughly and add at the end for a more interesting texture.
