Simple houmous

Drain and tip the chickpeas into a food processor.

Peel and add the garlic, then add the tahini, a good squeeze of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of oil.

Season with a pinch of sea salt, then pop the lid on and blitz.

Use a spatula to scrape the houmous down the sides of the bowl, then blitz again until smooth.

Have a taste and add more lemon juice or a splash of water to loosen, if needed, then transfer to a serving bowl.

Serve with sliced crunchy veg, such as carrots, cucumbers, radishes or peppers, and some warm flatbreads.
