Homous

This is such a quick and easy snack. It's one of my favourite after school snacks - I serve it with tortilla chips and veggies. I also use this as a quick lunch and serve on pasta with some raw veggies on the side. It can feel so intimidating making homous but it's actually so easy. This is one snack that is so expensive to buy but so inexpensive, quick and easy to make that you will be glad to make the switch. I hope you enjoy!


1 can chickpeas, drained 
3-5 cloves garlic (depending on your taste)
1 Tbsp Tahini
1 tsp herbamare
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp parsley
warm water to thin.


1. Blend garlic in a food processor.
2. Add chickpeas, tahini, herbamare, smoked paprika and parsley and blend until combined. 
3. Add warm water until desired tendency is reached. Start with 2 Tbsp and increase from there. 

Store any leftovers in the fridge. Serve with tortilla chips, veggies, on a sandwich, crackers, pasta etc.
