Hummus


500g chickpeas, cooked or canned drained and rinsed
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch plus 1/2 teaspoon to garnish chilli powder or cayenne

Directions

Process all ingredients except for the garnish in a food processor or blender until smooth, about 40 seconds. You may need to stop and occasionally scrape down the sides of the vessel.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
To serve, remove from fridge, garnish and serve with toasted pitta or homemade wholemeal gissini
