Hummus isn’t the most photogenic food I’ve ever tried to capture for FCV, but it sure is tasty!
One of the downsides of working from home is that my kitchen is 10 steps away and I always seem to want to munch on something, so I’ve been on the lookout for healthy snacks that will keep me full for a little longer. Enter homemade hummus. Extremely easy to make (all you need is a food processor!), and very satisfying for munching all afternoon.
Here’s how to make your own.
What you’ll need:
1 can chickpeas, drained
1 tbsp sesame tahini (you can find this in Dublin in Holland & Barrett or Donnybrook Fair)
1/8 tsp salt
juice of 1 lemon
1 large garlic clove, grated or minced
2 tbsp olive oil
Put everything except the olive oil into a food processor. Blend together. Add in the olive oil and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Happy healthy munching!

Hummus is so awesome! If you have an extra 10 minutes in front of the TV or with a podcast, try peeling the chickpeas first a la . It’s really less work than it sounds and it takes the hummus to a different stratosphere!
Oh man, I think you might be right, Cait. That would make a world of difference!
I do it without the tahini, but with a bit of ground cumin added. Either way, it’s so easy to make and nicer than shop bought!
That’s a great idea to add ground cumin!
