SIMPLE HOUMOUS
Chickpeas - the star ingredient in houmous - are incredibly good for you. High in protein and fibre and more than ten micronutrients, including a hefty amount of the mineral copper, keeping our hair and skin nice and healthy, this is a great, nutritious snack. Serve it with crunchy veg for dipping, breadsticks or lovely warm flatbreads.

Tips:
- Use dried chickpeas: Soaking and cooking dried chickpeas is more economical and yields a better-textured hummus than using canned chickpeas.
- Cook chickpeas until very tender: This ensures a smooth and creamy hummus. You can also use a pressure cooker to speed up the cooking process.
- Use a food processor or high-powered blender: This will help you achieve a smooth and creamy hummus. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also use a potato masher, but the hummus may not be as smooth.
- Add tahini: Tahini is a key ingredient in hummus that gives it a rich and nutty flavor. If you don't have tahini, you can use another nut or seed butter, such as almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
- Season to taste: Hummus should be flavorful but not overpowering. Start with a small amount of salt and lemon juice and add more to taste.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Hummus is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings, such as pita bread, vegetables, crackers, or chips.
Conclusion:
Hummus is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main course. It is also a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. With a few simple ingredients and a food processor or blender, you can easily make hummus at home. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious snack or appetizer, give hummus a try. You won't be disappointed!
