I am SUPER excited about this because I have struggled SO much to make humus all year-long. Theo Prana absolutely loves it and so do I, so this success has been one of my highlights of the week!

I’ll cut straight to the chase:

Recipe:

3-4 tbsp Tahini

1 full cup of boiled chickpeas

Lemon juice (1 lemon plus some lemon concentrate – depends on how much you want!)

3 Cloves Garlic

1 tsp Cumin

1/4 tsp Salt (approximately)

1/4 cup Olive Oil

1/3 cup Water (approximately)

** Disclaimer: We (Mum and I) looked up a number of recipes online (just google “how to make humus”) and then did our own thing. This is just a guideline of what we did.

Method:

Blend Tahini and Lemon Juice together until they combine into thicker paste

Add Garlic, Cumin and Salt and blend again briefly

Add half the oil and mix in.

Add chickpeas – we did a couple of handfuls. Blend.

Add the rest of the oil.

Add the rest of the chickpeas and water as needed – this might mean checking and blending a couple of times!

Blend until smooth in consistency.
Serve and enjoy :)ì

Recommended: Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle paprika when served.
This worked amazingly for us… though we didn’t add the paprika this time. It was a bit of trial and error at first, but we got there and it was worth it. Next time we might try adding pepper or beetroot or something else to spice things up and create new flavours. If/When we do, I’ll post about it!

If you try this, let us know how it goes – I’d be interested to hear/see your experiences.
