Roasted Garlic Hummus

This is an easy dip to prepare, especially if you use canned chickpeas. Don't know what took me so long to try this out!!
Note that if you use fresh peas, remember that you'll need to pre-soak the peas before cooking them, so plan accordingly.

Recipe adapted from Closet Cooking

Ingredients
250g can chickpeas, drained
2 cloves garlic, roasted. You can use fresh but the garlic taste will be sharper!
1/2 lemon (zest and juice)
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Method
1. Puree everything in a food processor until smooth.
2. Add some water (or more olive oil) to bring it to the consistency that you like.
3. Garnish with a little chopped parsley.

Served the hummus with crunchy toasted slices of ciabatta and some wine! Yummy.
