    Recipe #42 Lime and Mint Hummus [vegan]

    Shopping list 




  • 1/2 can chickpeas
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 garlic clove
  • Fresh mint (about 15 big leaves)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tablespoons of canned chickpeas' liquid
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon of dark tahini

  • You'll need a food processor or chopper


    Method 

    Place the ingredients (except the lemon juice) in a food processor and blend several minutes until it's soft. You can add more olive oil and/ or chickpea's liquid if you like it more fluid.
    Before serving I add the lemon juice and give it a stir. You can serve decorated with mint leaves
