Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 240 g tinned chickpeas ((one standard 400g tin), drained and rinsed)
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 1 clove garlic (crushed (optional)*)
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons water
  • salt (to serve (optional)*)
  • extra olive oil, za'atar, oregano or paprika (to serve (optional)*)

Instruction

  • If you wish you can lightly sauté the garlic in olive oil before adding to the hummus to make it a gentler taste for babies. You can also remove the skins from the chickpeas if you wish, but this isn't essential.
  • Add the drained chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, tahini and olive oil to a blender. Blend until smooth. Add one tablespoon of water and blend again. Add the other tablespoon gradually until you have the desired consistency. I find that the smoother the better when serving this to babies.
  • Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and some oregano, za'atar or paprika to serve if desired.
  • Keeps for a couple of days in the fridge in an airtight container.
