Gina’s Houmous
The perfect homemade houmous to share with friends
gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, nut-free
This houmous recipe is from my good friend Gina; an all-round lovely person, artist, gardener, and excellent vegetarian cook.
It makes a generous amount of houmous so it’s ideal for a hungry family or sharing with friends.
Ingredients
400g tin chickpeas – drain and save the liquid
2 tablespoons lemon juice
crushed garlic (as much or as little as you like, depending on how garlicky you want to be)
2 tablespoons light tahini
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
Liquidize the chickpeas with 4 tablespoons of liquid from the tin.
Add remaining ingredients and liquidize until smooth, adding more water if necessary.
The houmous will keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Enjoy with oatcakes, crispbreads, celery and carrot sticks, or smashed avocado.
