Ingredients

  • 2 cans 2x 400g of Chickpeas, keep the brine/water of 1 can
  • 2 tbsp Tahini
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Seeds
  • 4 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves of Garlic
  • 1 heaped tsp of Ground Cumin
  • juice of 1 large Lemon or more to taste
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Extras ‘n’ Optionals:

  • 1 tsp of Fresh Parsley finely diced
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil

Instructions

  • If you’re removing the chickpea skins then start with that. If not then go straight ahead with lightly toasting the sesame seeds in a pan (no oil needed) over medium heat for around 1-2 mins. You want to make sure they turn a deep brown colour, but be sure not to overcook; there’s a fine line between toasted and burnt.
  • Pop your chickpeas (bar 3-4 for garnish), chickpea brine, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, seasoning and 1 1/2 tbsp of your sesame seeds in a food processor. As you blend, slowly pour in your olive oil until the hummus becomes smooth and silky enough for your desired texture.
  • Taste test for any extra seasoning/lemon juice etc. If it’s not silky enough then simply add some water and/or olive oil.
  • Top hummus with your 1/2 tbsp of sesame seeds, 3-4 chickpeas and a good drizzle of sesame oil. Oh and some parsley if you fancy. Photo below for inspiration.
