🍽 Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
• 1/4 cup Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 clove Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Finely chopped red onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• to taste Salt
• to taste Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup Multigrain chips

📖 Instructions

1. First, gather your ingredients! Make sure your chickpeas are cooked – either canned or pre-cooked. If using dried, soak them overnight and boil until tender. I usually make a big batch on the weekend, so I always have some on hand. Makes things much faster!
2. Next, prepare your veggies. Finely chop the garlic, red onion, and parsley. Don’t be afraid to experiment with other veggies—roasted red peppers are divine! Just remember to adjust cooking time if adding ingredients that need cooking.
3. Now for the star of the show – the hummus! In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, red onion, and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Begin processing until everything is completely smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. You want it thick enough to scoop, but smooth enough to spread.
4. While the hummus is blending its magic, make sure the multigrain chips are ready. If making homemade, follow your chosen recipe. Or you could simply use store bought! My go-to is the brand ‘Artisan Grains’ – they’re amazing!
5. Once the hummus is completely smooth, you can give it a final taste test. Adjust seasonings as needed. I like to add a pinch of cumin sometimes, but thats just me, you can experiment!
6. Finally, transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra olive oil (I love doing this), and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve alongside your multigrain chips. Enjoy!
7. For an extra special treat, add a few slivers of toasted almonds or pine nuts for some extra crunch and a nutty flavour; I find this adds that special something! Sometimes I even add a bit of za’atar!
8. Remember, this recipe is a guide, feel free to customize it to your tastes! Add different spices, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, you name it. It’s all about creating your own flavour explosion!

📝 Notes

• For a smoother hummus, remove the chickpea skins before blending.
• Feel free to add other herbs and spices like cumin, paprika, or za’atar.
• For vegan option, ensure your tahini is vegan-friendly.
• If your hummus is too thick, thin it with a tablespoon or two of water. One at a time! You don't want it too runny!
