Hummus
Today I am featuring a recipe from a new friend of mine who lives in Africa her name is Rita please clink on link below to see her blog and all the wonderful recipes I have yet to try. 
I love hummus and there is nothing yummier than this recipe. It's quick and easy and works out sooooo much cheaper than going to buy it. I keep it in the fridge and it's a great go to party dip or put into chicken wraps. The uses are endless. Tahini is a sesame paste and you can buy it in your local supermarket or health food shop. BTW, Andrea believes that this should be part of a major food group.
Ingredients:
1 tin chickpeas
1/4 tsp cumin
2 tbsp tahini.
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice.
1 tsp Salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Method:
In a pot warm the chickpeas and liquid from the tin with the cumin. Once warm, drain the chickpeas reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid and put chickpeas and liquid into a food processor or blender. Place all the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Allow to cool and place into airtight container and refrigerate.
Tip:
When serving as a dip, make a well in the middle of the hummus and drizzle Extra Virgin Olive Oil and add some toasted pine nuts.
