monday munchies!

Our little boy loves hummus but hasn't quite to grips with the crudites to accompany them yet, that or he just likes the taste of my finger! Here is a great ready for hummus which you can enjoy too, I find for grown ups it tastes better if you add some salt but obviously not in the little one's portion!

Ingredients, for 2-4 people:

200g tinned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2tbsp tahini

juice of 1/2 lemon

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2-4tbsp olive oil

1tbsp water

pinch of salt

Method:

1. Add chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, 2tbsp olive oil, water and salt to blender or food processor.

2. Blend to a creamy consistency.

3. Add more oil if needed and blend again. Taste and add more garlic, salt, or lemon juice if needed.

4. Serve with warm pitta bread and carrot sticks (steamed slightly for babies).
