Serves: 8-10

Prep time: 5 MinTotal time: 5 Min

My daughter loves houmous. When we ran out, I made some myself - only for her to tell me that it wasn't as good as Tesco. My heart sunk... so I went away and adjusted the proportions to make it taste like the supermarket houmous she is used to!

Ingredients

• 240g cooked chickpeas (=400g tin, drained)
• 70g water (or use the aquafaba)
• 50g rapeseed oil
• 50g tahini
• 15g lemon juice
• 5g garlic puree
• 5g sea salt
• 1g cumin powder (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a food blender and blitz until homogenised and the texture that you like.
2. You can add more (or less) water depending on how thick you like it - although you may also need to adjust the seasoning.

Notes:

The total cost of this batch of houmous should come in at around £1.10 (as at February 2021, depending on where you shop). The most expensive ingredient is the tahini.
