Why It's So Good For You

Chickpeas are high in fiber, protein, manganese and iron, making them a great nutrient-rich staple for vegetarians and vegans!

Ingredients

(use organic ingredients where possible)

  • 1½ cups garbanzo beans or chickpeas (presoaked overnight and cooked until soft)
  • ¼ cup mild-tasting extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ⅓ cup lemon juice
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
  • 1 tbsp red curry paste (optional)

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients in a food processor.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.

NOTE*

  • For a lovely open-faced hummus sandwich, spread a generous amount of the hummus on 2 slices of Paleo bread (see recipe).
  • Top with bitter greens, spring onion, salt and pepper to taste.
