Hummus

I try to always have this in the fridge - its a good snack for everyone if you just want a little nosh.

Here is what you'll need:
3/4 cups dried chickpeas (soaked in water overnight)
1/4 cup of tahini
2 garlic cloves (small) peeled and put through the garlic press
1 tbs olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
salt

Drain the chickpeas and add them to a pot filled with plenty of water.
Cook chickpeas until they are all cooked (1 - 1 1/2 hours)
You might need to add more water if the water has evaporated

In a food processor add the cooked chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil and a big pinch of salt and blend until its smooth. If its too thick, add a bit more olive oil or some of the cooking liquid from the beans.

Eat with anything!
