Coriander and lemon Hummous

Loads of you asked for the recipe I mentioned, which surprised me somewhat - I thought I was the last person to start making homemade hummous and everyone else already did.

So here it is.

I will base this on a normal size can of chickpeas - although I actually made it with a half size can as I discovered they were 3 for a pound and a half can makes more than enough hummous for me to eat by myself. I just halved all the following ingredients.

·         1 x 400g tin chick peas, drained and rinsed

·         bunch coriander, roughly chopped.( I just did this buy eye.)

·         2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

·         ½tsp ground coriander (I couldn't find mine so I missed this out, I'll try it next time)

·         2 lemons, juiced (I actually just used lemon juice from a bottle, about 2 tablespoons - again by eye)

·         1tbsp tahini (I would probably not buy this especially and would just miss it out, but I happened to have some. A friend of mine uses peanut butter in his instead and says that it gives a saltier and nice texture, but I have never tried)

·         3tbsp olive oil - again, by eye.

  

And that's it! Just put it all in the mini chopper or blender, whatever you have, even s stick blender (you can probably even just mash it although it won't be quite so fine perhaps. I then added some salt, to taste.

I prefer this coriander and lemon flavour one as I find ordinary hummous a little bland.

Let me know if you try it.
