Houmous

Method

1. Pulse a drained tin of chickpeas in a food processor, together with the garlic clove, tahini paste and lemon juice.

2. With the processor running, stream in the olive oil and hot water until you have a smooth paste. Season to taste with salt, pepper and more lemon juice, then spoon into a serving bowl.

3. Sprinkle with a pinch of sweet smoked paprika and drizzle with extra olive oil. Serve with toasted pitta breads.
