Dish: Creamy avocado hummus

Ingredients:

400g drained chickpeas
¼ tsp baking soda
1 Avocado
¼ cup olive oil, or water
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, to taste
1 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper (optional)
Toppings (optional)
Diced avocado, pomegranate arils, roasted chickpeas, sugar snap peas, baby cucumbers, cherry tomatoes

Preparation:

1. Bring a medium-size pot of water to a boil.

2. Add the chickpeas and baking soda. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the chickpeas are very soft and falling apart.

3. Drain and rinse the chickpeas well.

4. Add the chickpeas and the rest of the ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend until as smooth as possible. (Add extra olive oil or water to thin out the hummus if desired)

5. Scoop the hummus into a serving dish. Decorate as desired with fruits/veggies of your choice and serve!

Note: You may use dried chickpeas if you soak them in water the night before and cook them until they’re extremely soft.

And voila! Your avocado hummus is ready. Happy snacking!
