Jump to Recipe

I discovered chickpeas in a pretty big way at university. It was chickpeas err’day – hummus, chickpea & couscous salad, chickpea curry – you name it, I was throwing chickpeas in it. So much so, that chickpeas and I needed a little break after all that. But, we are now back in business and back with chickpeas on the menu, I actually had the most divine breakfast sandwich the other day that had egg, chopped salad ingredients and chickpeas – delish! But back to the point of today… Quick, easy and versatile, hummus is a fab meal prep option – make ahead and thank yourself later as you grab ‘n go all week long. Some ideas for using your hummus: dip, dressing, spread on sandwiches, topping for crackers, chicken topping…

Quick, easy and versatile, hummus is a fab meal prep option - make ahead and thank yourself later as you grab 'n go all week long.

Hummus

The covered hummus will keep for one week in the fridge

Author: Cheryl Meyer, Dish & Delite
Ingredients
  • 1 x 410 g tin (252 g drained weight) chickpeas, drained
  • 2 tablespoons tahini sesame paste
  • juice from ½ - 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic about 1 teaspoon
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • parsley for garnishing (optional)
Method
  1. Drain the chickpeas and reserve the liquid.
  2. Into a blender or food processor, place the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and about ½ - ⅔ of the chickpea liquid.
  3. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Blend to a soft creamy paste.
  5. Turn into a shallow serving dish and sprinkle with parsley.
Notes

For a no-tahini version: The same recipe as above EXCEPT the tahini is replaced by half a teaspoon of ground cumin and a sprinkling of cayenne pepper. All the liquid from the chickpeas may have to be used and if still too dry, water can be added.
