Homemade Hummus With Toasted Pine Nuts

Yum! Simple, delicious and very easy. You can add more spices, flavours as you go along.  

 Homemade Hummus With Toasted Pine Nuts

Ingredients 

1 1/2 cups of cooked chickpeas or 1 can drained and rinsed.

3-4 tablespoons of tahini paste 

1 small garlic (mine was cooked with the  chickpeas) you can use raw

Splash of water from cooked chickpeas or canned water  

1 whole lemon juice (or less if you don't like the lemon flavour)  

1tsp cumin and smoked papika

1-2 tablespoons of roasted pine nuts 

 Method

Place all these delicious ingredients together in a blender and pulse and blend until thick and creamy. Watch it now on my Instagram stories. 

We love ours served with wedges of lemon juice, more Pine Nuts and a drizzle of olive oil.  

Health benefits of some of the above ingredients;

Chickpeas are a great source of natural plant protein goodness, fibre, essential vitamins and minerals. 

Tahini paste is loaded with minerals such as phosphorus, lecithin, magnesium, potassium and iron. It's one of the best sources of calcium out there! Not to mention it's high in vitamin E and vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B15.

Enjoy!!!! I've got another two jars of hummus for the kids lunches this week.
