Chickpeas blended with garlic and tahini are delicious — but whisk in a splash of that magical little ingredient called aquafaba, and it aerates the hummus to a sort of dreamy-creamy consistency!
You will need
Serves 2
- 1 x 400g can chickpeas, plus 1/2 the aquafaba (liquid in the tin) reserved
- 1/4 clove garlic
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt & pepper
