Homegrown & Homemade Hummus

Yep it’s the simple things in life that bring the greatest joy, a few short months ago I made a pallet planter and planted some chickpeas, now as you can see from the picture I did not plant nearly enough, let’s call this years crop a curious experiment and needless to say I did need to top up the content of chickpeas with shop bought ones in order to make my hummus , so it’s not fully homegrown.

Hummus is easy to make and is a summer favourite in our house, this recipe is simple, but you can get as fancy as you like.

Ingredients:

• Chickpeas
• Garlic
• Olive oil
• Sea salt
• Black pepper
• Turmeric
• Tahini

Method:

For the homegrown chick peas you can put them straight into the blender with the other ingredients, the shop bought chickpeas will need cooking first. When blending add water to reach desired consistency after that serve and enjoy, a splash of lemon goes well with hummus.

All the best
