Houmous (V)

Houmous is another picnic favourite which tastes so much better when you make it yourself and it doesn't take that much time at all. Serve with bits of pitta, carrot sticks and cucumber sticks.

Serves 4

1 x 400g Can of Chickpeas
1 Garlic clove, crushed
4 tbsp Plain Yoghurt
4 tbsp Tahini Paste
3 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Handful of Corriander, chopped
Splash of Lemon Juice

1. Put everything apart from the coriander and 1 tbsp of the olive oil in the food processor. Blend together and spoon whatever is on the side of the processor after its finished blending

2. Taste and season. Add the coriander and blitz again. Spoon into a serving bowl/Tupperware and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with pitta bread, carrot sticks and cucumber stick
