One of my life goal for this year is to get fitter, and I am aiming to achieve this through exercise and better eating habit. I don't eat badly but I can eat better. My weakness is crisps, or strictly peaking anything snacks that are crunchy and savoury!
I am trying to cut down/ out of this bad habit, and replace it with something healthier, hummus dip. OK, shop bought hummus dip is not that fantastic, I mean check out that traffic light labelling on the front. Hummus dip is extremely simple to make, and the key tool to success is a mini food chopper.
I would like to say that after many trial and error I may have finally mastered the best hummus dip, in terms of consistency and flavour!
400g of chickpeas in water
80ml of rapeseed oil
1 1/2 tsp of salt
1 juice of lemon
2 cloves of garlic
2 1/2 tbsp of tahini paste
A sprinkle of paprika
1. Rinse the chickpeas under cold tap water and drained.
2. Place all the ingredients in to the mini food chopper and blitz until smooth.
3. Scoop hummus into a glass bowl or any container you wish to use and sprinkle with paprika.
Great with carrot or celery sticks. For something crunchy, serve with wholegrain crackers.
