Out of all the dips available to my kids - this is only one of two they will touch, and this one is Eloise's favourite. I think this might be because I used to make a chickpea cauliflower curry for her when she was on first foods and she adored that too. Good taste my girl.
Anyhoo... I serve this in lunchboxes with carrot and celery sticks. Sometimes I'll sprinkle sultanas on top (I know that sounds wrong but Eloise likes it!)
For us adults I serve it with homemade Turkish bread or corn chips, usually with a salsa too. Or I'll put it in pocket bread with lamb and some tabbouleh. Sometimes I just eat it off the spoon, but don't tell anyone, ok?
How do you eat your hoummus?
Ingredients:
400g tin chickpeas, drained
2 tb tahini (sesame seed paste, you can get it from the healthfood section or shop)
2 cloves garlic
2 tb lemon juice
2 tb olive oil
Method:
Chuck everything in the food processor (love my new Braun Multiquick 7 cordless seriously!) and process until creamy - add a little water if it's too thick.
If serving to adults you can garnish with a bit of olive oil and paprika!
Cost: about $1.50! Easy peasy lebanese-y.
Do you buy or make your hoummus? A bit of both perhaps?

Kidlets will love it - delish
Absolutely delicious! We polished off a whole bowl full today!
snap! I eat it just like you. or with carrot sticks, lavosh biscuits, even on delish toast! I love. I will try out this recipe too!
I love hommous too! And in a funny coincidence, I almost bought bowls just like that the other day! :P
This is one of my fussy 2yo's faveourite foods - we usually have it with carrot sticks or crackers. I must admit I've been buying it, but this looks so easy and is cheaper too! Thanks!
yummo, yep love hommos and that's how I make mine - I also love it with lemon infused olive oil! sooooo good! loving my braun too!
Corrie:)
