Humous (pbc)

Shop bought versions contain too much salt. Make your own and be in control of the ingredients.
Experiment with different beans and broaden your palate. In my version I have left out the olive oil and salt.

400g/1 1/2 cups ckickpeas
2 tbsp tahani ( seasame seed paste)
2 cloves garlic
1/2 lemon/lime( juiced)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 teasp sweet paprika
100 mls vegetable stock.
small handful corriander

Method:
1) Drain chickpeas and place in blender with vegetable stock
2) Add lemon/lime juice and begin blending.
3) Add the tahani and tomato paste
4) If mixture is too thick you may need to add
a little water.
5) When you have reach the right consistency turn out
into a dish.
6) Spinkle the paprika over the top of the mixture and
garnish with chopped corriander.
8) Serve with pitta bread
