Hummus is almost as easy to make as it is to buy. The key to making this hummus recipe creamy is letting the food processor run for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Ingredients

  • 2 small garlic cloves, chopped

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 540-mL can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp tahini

  • 1/4 tsp cumin

Instructions

  • WHIRL garlic and salt in a food processor. Add chickpeas, oil, water, lemon juice, tahini, chili flakes and cumin. Continue whirling until hummus is very smooth.

  • SPREAD onto 4 salad plates, leaving a well in centre. Top hummus with Spiced Lamb and Pine Nuts, if desired.

  • Hummus Recipe Tip: Adding spicy sautéed meat turns hummus into a fabulous main course. Serve with lots of very fresh pita.
