HOUMOUS ( SYN free - green or EE)

INGREDIENTS

1 tin chick peas , drain liquid into a cup as you will need some
1 lemon, squeezed
1 Large Clove Garlic
Salt
Smoked Paprika
Garlic Powder
Frylight

METHOD

Put chickpeas in a food processor with the garlic and a little of the chickpea liquid and whizz on high power until smooth. Add more liquid if too thick. Keep scraping the sides of the bowl down and re-whizz where needed

Add the juice of 1 lemon, a shake of smoked paprika, salt and a shake of garlic powder.

Whizz again

Taste and season as you prefer using additional salt, paprika or garlic powder

It really is down to taste.

Then add a few sprays of Frylight and whizz again.

Refrigerate - it tastes better- also I found it was even better the next day ;)
Yum

Serve with sliced red,orange and yellow peppers, cucumber and carrot batons

I can never find smoked paprika :confused: We don't have a Tesco or Asda but have the other big supermarkets. Nearest thing I have is regular paprika or M&S smoked paprika with sweet red pepper and thyme blend. Will try the latter in the humous, thanks. Nom.

Loving this thread :D

I could easily eat it all. Also meant to say that when the carrots are sweet as well as the cabbage it's even sweeter - yum
