Homemade Hommus

















I made this today.  It's good.  Quantities are very approximate.  Modify to taste.


1 can chick peas - leave the liquid aside till later
2-3 tbs tahini
2 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs olive oil
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 cloves grated garlic
1/4 tsp ground coriander seeds
1/4 tsp cumin
paprika or cayenne pepper to taste
salt to taste


Blend all this up in a food processor and add as much chick pea liquid as you like, depending on how runny you like your hommus.  If it's all a bit tart or salty for your liking try adding a little bit of sugar, but not too much! Taste as you go, you might like more or less lemon, or cumin or paprika.  Choose your own adventure.
