Good Morning! Happy Monday and hope you all have a great start to the week. This morning I woke up and started my Elimination Week. What is this? Well, after weeks of late nights, more than enough wine, and amazing food I decided to start eliminating certain foods from my diet this week. Which means, no meat. Only fish and vegetables. I would love to try a vegan week but I need a little more know - how to be able to pull it off and stay sane.
As I was planning my meals, I plan two days at a time. (Sitting down planning an entire weeks worth of meals just seems uninspiring and tedious. Rather just take it as it comes and see what I feel like rather than for the sake of it.) I flicked through some old recipes and decided to try and make my all time favourite. Hummus. How I love my vitamix and the wonders it can blend to. However, I got carried away and pureed rather than blended. The taste is fantastic though so in the fridge for a few hours to set and it will be super for snacking on. Never again store bought. Super easy and will try a few alternatives soon!
Happy Hummus
Ingredients
1 can of Chickpeas (I use Mister Organic)
1 1/2 Tbs Tahini
Juice from 1/2 Lemon
2 Small Garlic cloves
120 ml Water.
Method
Rinse the chickpeas and drain them. Rinse and drain till water runs clear. Place the chickpeas in a blender with the garlic cloves, lemon juice, tahini and water. Switch on your blender and pulse. That way you get a lovely chunky consistency. If you like it creamier, blend for 15 seconds.
Place in a bowl and garnish with parsley. I like my hummus chilled so place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Enjoy!
