May 25, 2017Time to get creative and step up your snack game! This basil hummus recipe is prepared quickly and can easily be modified according to your individual taste buds. Just add your favourite herbs or spices. Serve it as a dip with some pita bread, fresh veggies or as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish – hummus is always a good idea!
WHAT YOU NEED (SERVES 4):
400 g can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed in cold water
1 tbsp. tahini
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves
A bunch of fresh basil, washed
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Cumin
HOW TO PREPARE:
- Peel and mince the garlic and place all the ingredients in a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth. You can add some (chickpea) water if the mixture is too thick. If it’s too runny for your taste, add more tahini or oil. Serve the hummus with more drizzled olive oil, cumin and chopped basil on top. Enjoy!
