5 Min Hummus & Tortilla Chips

An easy hummus recipe plus chips that can be whipped up to serve in 10 minutes - excellent for hosting an Iftaar meal in Ramadan or a family summer barbecue.

Serves 2 • Halal/Vegan • No cooking skills required

Ingredients

• 1 tin can chick peas, drained (hummus traditionally calls for dried chick peas, also called Garbanzo Beans, but they need soaking overnight - wayyy to long)
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
• Zest of 1/3 lemon and 3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin seeds
• 1/4 cup of tahini (sesame seed paste)
• 1 teaspoon red chilli flakes

Tip: Hummus can be made without tahini although it is widely available in food shops. Chilli flakes are optional and season to taste.

Serve with grilled tortilla wraps - brush on a little olive oil and cut into triangles, and chopped vegetable sticks like carrots and cucumber.

Method

1. Mash the chick peas, garlic, salt, cumin, tahini and chilli flakes with a fork or in a food processor for a smoother consistency.
2. Add the olive oil, lemon zest and juice and process until well combined.
3. Grill the tortilla, chop the veg and serve!

Easy finger-food, light and good for you!
