Background
This dip is similar to houmousΒ but, instead of tahini, ripe tomatoes are used (so it's suitable for those who are allergic to sesame seeds). It's lovely and zesty dip for cruditΓ©s and crackers. Take it to a picnic to share!

- 100g ripe cherry tomatoes
- 1 shallot or Β½ onion, chopped

Instructions
- Dry-roast the cumin seeds in a frying pan (i.e. without oil).
- Roughly chop the tomatoes.
- Drain the chickpeas then, using a food processor, blend everything into a textured paste.
- Season to taste.
- Let it rest in the refrigerator for about half an hour before serving.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and tomatoes.
