Ingredients (for 4)

Pantry basics not counted above: salt. Allergens: Sesame, gluten.

Method

  1. Start smooth

    Blend tahini and lemon juice for 30 seconds. Add garlic, cumin and a good pinch of salt and blend again.

  2. Add chickpeas

    Blend chickpeas and olive oil until thick and fairly smooth.

  3. Loosen with cold water

    With the motor running, add ice-cold water a tablespoon at a time until the hummus becomes pale, creamy and spoonable.

  4. Warm the pita

    Toast pita briefly in a dry pan or warm in the oven, then cut into wedges.

  5. Serve

    Spoon hummus into a shallow bowl, make a swirl, add olive oil and finish with paprika/sumac and parsley if using.

Tip: For extra-smooth hummus, simmer drained chickpeas in water for 10 minutes first, then drain and blend while warm.
