A must for a late night snack. Always have some lying around as it makes the best wraps when you're feeling healthy (with a bit of salad or leftover chicken/pork/lamb/roast vegetable).
1/2 bag of dried chick peas soaked over night
2 table spoons of tahini paste (preferably light)
2 cloves of garlic
2 table spoons of cumin seed, dry fried and crushed
2 table spoons of coriander seed, dry fried and crushed
Lemon
Red wine vinegar
Boil the chick peas for an hour or so, until they're softened. Add them to a blender while still warm (reserve the liquor.) Blend with the tahini, garlic, cumin, coriander seed and a good hit of seasoning and the juice of a lemon. Check for flavour and consistency. Add the chick pea juice to loosen it more, the red wine vinegar to add a bit more acidity, or more seasoning if needed. The flavours will enhance when it cools.
Serve with toasted pitta, bread sticks, warm ciabatta or decent crackers. Preferably with a decent chilled lager.
