Method
Homemade hummus recipe with vegetable crudit茅s
A party platter that, serves up to 4
Common allergens - Sesame seeds (Tahini)
Tip the chickpeas, crushed garlic, tahini, lemon juice and olive oil into a blender. Whizz them together until you have a rough paste, you don鈥檛 want your hummus to be too smooth! You can add a splash of water to help the hummus blend. Ask your grown-up helper to help you use a blender as they can be very whizzy!
If you don't have a blender, mash your hummus by hand using a potato masher.
Spoon the hummus into a bowl, and place in the centre of a large plate.
Next you can start to make your veggie rainbow.
With very clean hands, place your veggie shapes around half the plate, to make a rainbow shape. You can arrange them in the order of the colours of the rainbow, or any pattern you like.
You will have a lovely colourful sharing platter, to dip and enjoy!
