“What’s not to love about hummus? Especially when it’s made with organic chickpeas – the flavour is just superb. Serve it with plenty of chewy Afghan bread for mopping it all up.”

Method

Main

1.For hummus, cover chickpeas generously with cold water in a large saucepan, bring to the boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender (20-25 minutes). Drain (reserve 300ml cooking liquid), rinse under cold running water and discard any loose skins. Transfer to a food processor (reserve 80gm for salad), add remaining ingredients and process until smooth (3-5 minutes), adding reserved cooking liquid to thin to a smooth purée. Season to taste and refrigerate until required.

2.Transfer reserved chickpeas to a small saucepan, warm over low heat (1-2 minutes), add oil and lemon juice, season to taste. Combine in a bowl with coriander and onion, toss to combine.

3.Spread hummus on a serving plate, scatter with salad, dollop with tahini, scatter with Kashmiri chilli and sumac and serve.

Kashmiri chilli is available from Herbie’s Spices.
