Background

It's so easy to make your own hummus - it’s tastier and healthier, and you can make it much more interesting than anything you get in a supermarket! This broad beans hummus is a really nice version. Serve it with crudités and /or toasted pitta bread.

Ingredients

1 cup broad beans
1 cup cooked chickpeas
2 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 Tbsp tahini paste
Salt &pepper

Instructions

Blanch the broad beans in a pan of boiling water for a couple of minutes, then drain (keeping the water) and rinse under cold water. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, put everything else in a food processor.
When the broad beans are cool, remove their outer skins. Set a few beans aside for garnishing.
Add most of the beans to the food processor and whizz until you get a smooth paste, adding some of the cooking water. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Transfer the hummus to a bowl and garnish with the beans and drizzle with oil.
