Thank you Jamie Oliver for this recipe. I have devoured it many times now and thought it about time that I shared my slightly amended version.
Ingredients
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
Sea salt and pepper
1 dried red chilli (easy to find in Asian grocery shops – otherwise, am sure that chilli flakes would do the trick)
2 peeled cloves of garlic
1 drained 400g tin of chickpeas
1 tablespoon of tahini
4 tablespoons of olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 red onion
Create by doing the following
1. Fry cumin seeds.
2. Remove cumin seeds and crush using a mortar and pestle with a pinch of salt and the chilli.
3. Put following in food processor : garlic, chilli/cumin mix, chickpeas (minus about 10 of them) and tahini. Once smooth, mix in olive oil before adding salt, pepper and lemon. Put in a bowl.
4. Slice red onion and fry in frypan in olive oil with the remaining chick peas. Place on top of the homous.
Makes a medium bowl sized portion. Use the resulting irresistible hummus as a dip and on sandwiches / rolls. Great protein fix.
