happy hummus - your gut will love all this good fibre!

It is always handy to have a healthy snack available so you don't reach for crap instead! This hummus will keep in the fridge for a good 5-7 days and you can freeze a batch to pull out when you can't be bothered washing up the food processor.

                                      happy hummus

450g chickpeas, can or soaked and cooked at home
1 fat clove garlic
1 dessertspoon tahini
juice of half a lemon
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin seeds
15g coriander leaves and stalks

blend all till smooth adding water to desired consistency (I like it rough!), a little salt and pepper to season
serve drizzled with olive oil and batons of crudities: carrot, celery, red pepper, broccoli or a seed cracker like I did.

therapy:

soluble fibre: chickpeas, garlic, tahini, crudities
prebiotic: garlic
antimicrobial: garlic, turmeric, olive oil
vitamin c: lemon (also acidifies digestive tract), broccoli, red pepper
anti-carcinogenic: turmeric, cumin, coriander


*organic where possible
