Instructions
- Whizz all the ingredients in a blender or food processor for a few minutes, or until you have a smooth silky paste, adding water at the last step until you get the thickness you want. Add more water, if you prefer a thinner hummus- remember that hummus has a tendency to thicken after a few hours.
- Adjust lemon juice and salt to your taste.
- To serve- pour some more olive oil over the hummus and sprinkle with some paprika.
- Hummus keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Recipe Notes
Change your hummus by adding some raosted red pepper to it- grill a red pepper unil the skin blackens all over- pop the pepper into a plastic bag for 15 minutes to allow the skin to loosen- slip off the skin, remove the peppers, and process the pepper with the other ingredients in the blender. This will have a lovely pale red colour.
Other possible additions to add more nutrients are artickokes, or zucchini.
