It's worth making hummus from scratch, especially if you're not a fan of the plain flavoured store-bought hummus. Instead, try my creamy Herb Hummus Dip filled with flavours of parsley, chives, cumin, and lemon juice.
Herb Hummus Dip Platter
Serves 6
Prep
Cook
Ingredients:
400g can organic chickpeas
1/2 cup parsley
1/4 cup chives
1/4 cup dill
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus extra to drizzle)
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (extra may be needed)
2 whole garlic cloves
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp water (more or less)
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions:
Rinse and drain chickpeas and prepare all other ingredients.
Add all ingredients to a food processor and blitz until smooth.
If hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or water at a time until consistency is smooth (not too thick or thin).
Place hummus on a platter or in a bowl and drizzle olive oil and scatter herbs over the top.
Will keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a week.
