Homemade Hummous

• 200g/7oz canned chickpeas

• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• Salt
• 100ml/3½fl oz tahini (sesame seed paste) optional
• 4 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp paprika

Drain and rinse the chickpeas, combine them with the tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, water and a sprinkle of salt until it is smooth and creamy, if you'd like to add a touch more lemon juice, cumin or garlic until it tastes as you like it. Serve in a dish with a drizzle of oil on top. 

For those on the ReVive or ReSet phase, you can vary this recipe by adding some chilli, horseradish and beetroot or chopped roasted peppers.
