Wholesome Hummus

It's easy to forget how easy it is to make hummus at home for a fraction of the price it goes for in the store. This simple and delicious dip can be served with fresh veggies, bread,  sliced pita, tortilla chips, or even in a salad. I love using this as a spread on freshly baked sourdough too! I would, however, strongly advise to forgo this recipe if you do not have a blender at home, having  tried to make it by mashing chickpeas with a fork once when living in South America with less than Instagrammable results!

Ingredients
1 can chickpeas (garbanzos)
2 tbsp EVOO
2 cloves garlic- I love to use the smoked chopped garlic by English Provender's Very Lazy range
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp tahini (a paste made of ground sesame seeds)
Salt and dried herbs to flavour as desired- I love using Olde Thompson's Roasted Garlic and Herb Grinder with a little garlic salt

Method
Add all the ingredients in a blender, blitz for a minute, shake and check consistency, then blitz for another minute (or as long as needed) to ensure you obtain a smooth paste. Serve in a bowl or on a plate with a light sprinkle of EVOO and spices or dried herbs to garnish. It really is that easy!
