Background
This minty hummus is fresh and zingy, so it goes particularly well with spicy grilled meat or fish, such as koftas or shaslik kebab. You can serve it as a dip with crudités and/or pita bread too.
If you add more water to it, you’ll get a thinner sauce which is perfect as a salad dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 tin (400g) or 2 cups of cooked chickpeas, drained
- 2 Tbsp tahini
- Juice of 1 lime or lemon
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves
- Water
Instructions
- Put all ingredients in a blender. Add some water (or the chickpea’s cooking water) and blitz until you get a smooth cream. Add more water if it’s too thick.
- Taste it and adjust the seasoning - add more lemon/lime juice if it’s not zingy enough.
- Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl, garnish with some mint leaves and serve.
