Ingredients
  

  • 1 can chickpeas 1 x 15oz can
  • 2 tablespoon fat free natural yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Place the contents of the can of chickpeas in a saucepan (chickpeas and the water) and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Simmer for 15 - 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and remove the chickpeas from any remaining water (aquafaba) using a slotted spoon. Make sure to keep the water that is left over as you will use this later!
  • Place the chickpeas, yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt & cumin into the bowl of a food processor.
  • Blitz on high until the mixture is smooth.
  • Add the chickpea water a tablespoon at a time, blitzing between each addition until you have a good consistency. I tend to add between 2 & 3 tablespoons for a nice spreadable consistency.
  • Serve with a sprinkling of paprika and a drizzle of olive oil.
