I know! something savoury for once. shocker! But Ollie loves hummus, the more garlicky the better it seems. This is probably nothing like a traditional recipe but it is quick, easy and tasty. If you try it let me know what you think.

Hummus

• 1x 400g tin of chickpeas
• 2 garlic cloves crushed
• small handful of fresh parsley
• juice of ½ a lemon
• 2 tbsp sesame or olive oil (I go for sesame for flavour)

Drain the chickpeas then use a clean cotton tea towel (or a muslin cloth as I do) to dry them as much as possible. Add these, then all the other ingredients to the foodprocessor or blender bowl and blend until smooth, add extra oil if you think it is needed. (You could probably mash the chickpeas by hand with a potato masher but it would take a little longer.) Serve spread in sandwiches, with breadsticks or with raw chopped vegetables such as carrots, celery and cucumber as dippers. Keep in an air tight container in the fridge for up to a week.
