Hummus is my favourite dip with everything; a healthy snack from the middle east, full of fibre and protein, perfect for vegans and vegetarians. Super easy, try, and you’ll fall in love.

Low Calorie Hummus

A creamy Middle Eastern dip that's guilt-free! Aquafaba (chickpea water) provides a velvety, smooth finish without the use of oil. It is vegan, vegetarian and super yummy and easy to make.

Ingredients

240 g chickpeas or 1 can
15 g tahini
2 single garlic clove
a pinch ground cumin
a pinch ground coriander
a pinch black pepper
½ single lemon

Instructions

Drain the chickpeas to remove the majority of the liquid. If using dry, save aside roughly a quarter cup of the cooking water.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas, chickpea water, and garlic. Pulse until you have a rough paste. If your blender isn't powerful enough, coarsely chop the garlic before adding it, or use pre-minced garlic instead.
In a blender, combine the rest of the ingredients and process until your hummus is as creamy as you like it. If it's too thick, add a spoonful of water at a time until it's the right consistency. Add a handful of more chickpeas if it's too thin.
Taste your hummus and season to taste with salt or other seasonings, then blend until fully combined.
Serve with warm pita and crudités right away, or dress it up with a tablespoon of olive oil and fresh basil and a bunch of chickpeas! Keeps for up to 3 days in the fridge.
