What’s this goodness I speak of? Well…
- Chickpeas are said to have a high protein, iron, vitamin B-6 and magnesium content
- Tahini, which is a paste made from toasted sesame seeds, is a great source of iron and calcium
- Paprika, made from ground bell peppers, is a great source of vitamin A, calcium, iron, vitamin B-6 and magnesium
With all those vitamins and minerals, and all the flavour the ingredients bring, you can’t go wrong with this 5 Minute Spicy Paprika Tahini Hummus!
Now, obviously this is a 5 minute recipe, but that doesn’t express quite how EASY this Hummus is to put together. There’s nothing to it…Just throw the drained chickpeas into your blender along with some tahini, olive oil, coconut milk and garlic, give it a whizz until it’s smooth. Then stir in the spices and some salt and pepper and whizz again until it’s all perfectly mixed together and creamy in texture.
THAT’S IT. Whaaaat? Yep, told you, nothing to it.
And you will have yourself the MOST DELICIOUS DIP EVER to serve when friends come over, on the weekend with a family lunch. Or simply to have in the fridge to make sandwiches or snacks that much more wholesome and yum.
