Low-fat yoghurt hummus

Ingredients Result

Ingredients: (for a basic hummus base)

- 1 tbsp lemon juice

- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1/3 cup yoghurt (plain)

- 3/4 cup chickpeas (if you use dried chickpeas like I did make sure to soak them according to the instructions on the back of the packet as well as cook them thoroughly)

- 2 cloves garlic, crushed and roughly chopped

- 2 tsp sesame seed oil

Additional (optional):

- parsley, tomatoes, cucumber (anything of your choice) to garnish

Method:

1. Put chickpeas and garlic in a blender (if you have an open-top blender where u can keep adding ingredients then start pulsing the chickpeas and garlic - if you have a cocktail blender or a bullet blender then put all ingredients in at once). - if the latter option, beat until roughly smooth and serve cold with or without garnish.

2. If the former option, add remaining ingredients gradually and then spoon out and serve cold with or without garnish.

Alternatively you can make a hummus with 1/3 cup olive oil, chickpeas, and garlic in the same fashion. Just two different types of bases.
