ZAR - Hummus for the weekend!!!

I remember when Rosie was staying with me a few years ago, we each claimed that we made the best hummus. We had a hummus-off......I think we agreed that they were both the winner - both very different.

Hummus is a really useful dip to have in the fridge. Good spread on crispbread or for celery dipping. Also easy to keep a tin of chickpeas in the pantry. If you take longer than 5 minutes to make this, you're doing something wrong.

400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 clove garlic, peeled
juice of half a lemon
half a tsp cumin
tbsp olive oil
tbsp warm water
salt and pepper

Put all ingredients in a food processor and blitz. Scrape down and blitz again. Taste and adjust for flavour and texture.

Also good for dips and spreads.....

De-seed, grill and peel skin off 2 red capsicums (peppers). Blitz the flesh in food processor with 2 good tbsps low fat cottage cheese, lemon juice and salt and pepper.

1 cup of chopped cucumber mixed with 125g natural yoghurt and chopped mint, salt and pepper.
