Please may someone give me a good houmous recipe?
TIA

You have tahini?

Can drained chickpeas in blender. Keep some chickpea water for
Later. Clove garlic crushed in. Good dollop (tablespoon or two) tahini* in. Squeeze lemon juice in (I use juice from half a lemon per can c peas). Blitz. Add small amounts of chickpea water if you want it looser. Into bowl. I top with olive oil and hot smoked paprika. Sometimes with toasted pinenuts.
*If you have sesame seeds to make tahini (sesame paste) I’ve never done this. AlwYs use ready made - tahini.

Thanks for the replies
