  • 10.00 gm Moroccan spice mix
  • Fresh mint or continental parsley leaves, to serve
  • Pine nuts, toasted, to serve
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
  • 400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained

  • 125ml (1/2 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) tahini
  • 2-63.00 gm fresh lemon juice

  • In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas, garlic, and salt until coarsely chopped. Then, blend in the oil, tahini, and lemon juice to taste. While running the processor, gradually pour in water until reaching your desired hummus consistency. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate to enhance the flavors before serving.
