Oil-Free Chickpea Houmous

This easy recipe is enough to make a small tub of houmous, but feel free to increase quantities as necessary to keep plenty to hand in your fridge.

You can also freeze it for future use to save time and effort later.

Feel free to use frozen veg/fruit/herbs etc in any of my recipes if you don’t have fresh options.

Ingredients

200g Dried Chickpeas or 1 tin 400g Cooked
2 tsp Garlic
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Tahini (leave out if you have a sesame allergy)
50ml Plant-Based Milk

Recipe

1) If using dried chickpeas, soak in water overnight or for at least 12 hours. Then cook in a pan with boiling water until fully cooked through.

2) Place cooked chickpeas and all other ingredients in a blender. Blend until fully combined and smooth.

Enjoy your houmous with a salad/side dish or other healthy meals.

Top Tips

If there are any ingredients that you do not like in any of my recipes, then feel free to swap them out for another food choice within the same food category (grains, beans & other legumes, fruit, veg, nuts & seeds).

You can also use frozen fruit/veg when you don’t have the fresh option.

Don’t forget to keep the skins on your veg for essential added fibre and nutrition.
