Scrummy hummous
1 x 16 oz tin of chick peaas
4 cloves of garlic (more if you like it really garlicky)
the rind and juice of 1 large lemon (2 if you like it really lemony)
1-2 tablespoons tahini
good quality olive oil
salt and pepper
Drain the chick peas (garbanzo bean, ceci bean, bengal gram, chana or channa) and put in a blender. Add the rest of the ingredients and whizz. Use as much olive oil as you like to get the consistency you like and add more lemon juice if you like. In fact just play around until you find the blend that tickles your taste buds and eat until gone and your breath stinks to high heaven.
Store in a covered bowl with a slick of olive oil on top to stop the hummous going crusty. Simply stir this in before serving. You can garnish with paprika or chopped coriander/parsley/mint or all three.

I find my hummus doesn't taste quite right without some cumin mixed (preferably lightly toasted first to bring out the flavour).
