Free Hummus Barbecue Dip Recipe

To get the best hummus barbecue dip recipe free of charge I had to steal it from my wife! She adds a little chili and that sure makes all the difference.

Starting the party with a great barbecue dip (or two) just can’t be beaten in my book. There’s a lot of dips now available off the shelf in many supermarkets and some are very good, but others I find really tasteless. I don’t know what it is about humus but this seems to be one of those recipes that the food manufacturers just can’t get right.

In terms of blitzing the ingredients I find the easiest is a hand held food mixer. Anyway it’s easy to make your own, just follow the recipe below.

Ingredients:-

• 400g tin of chickpeas
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 4 teaspoons tahini
• Pinch of ground cumin seeds
• Pinch of dried chilli flakes
• 110ml or ½ cup mild olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 clove garlic crushed

Method:-

Put all the ingredients except the olive oil into plastic container, take the hand held food mixer and blitz. Add the oil gently until you have a paste. Spoon it out into a ramekin dish and you’re ready to serve with breadsticks or vegetable crudités.

The consistency of hummus is normally quite thick but I tend to serve it fairly loose for the hummus barbecue dip otherwise your breadsticks will snap!

There you have it, an easy and healthy start to a barbecue that will keep the guests happy as you prepare the main meal.
