Ingredients

For the hummus

  • 3/4 tin chickpeas the rest will be used for the topping
  • 80 g tahini
  • 1/2 squeezed lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cm grated ginger
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 30 ml olive oil
  • 3 tbsp water

For the topping

  • 1/4 can chickpeas rinsed and dried with a tissue
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • cracked pepper and salt to season
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion finely chopped
  • 1 crushed garlic clove
  • 1 tbsp soya sauce

Instructions

The topping

  1. Add the chickpeas, cumin, pepper and salt in a bowl, and mix so that the seasoning coats the chickpeas.
  2. Heat a frying pan with olive oil on medium heat, add the red onion and sauté until slightly translucent then add the crushed garlic
  3. Add the chickpeas and continue to stir on low heat for around 5 minutes until the chickpeas are almost golden
  4. Add the soya sauce and allow it to caramelise, then take it off the heat. Leave to cool

The hummus

  1. Add all the houmous ingredients to a blender (I used my friend's Nutribullet)
  2. Blend until smooth, taste and add more lemon/ginger (for some extra p'zaz), or water/olive oil for it to be more runny/creamy.
  3. Add the topping you made earlier

  4. Enjoy with some sliced carrots/red pepper/celery etc, and try your best not to eat it all at once!

Recipe Notes

I decided to add some stir-fried chickpeas to the top, this isn't an essential part but it does take your hummus to a whole new level, so if you have the time I would defo recommend this step!
