🥣 Description

OR - 400g dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
Plus:
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 2 tbsp organic natural yoghurt
Optional Add-Ins:
- Fresh herbs or spices of your choice
- Avocado (for a creamier texture)
- Dukkah (for extra crunch and flavour)
👩🍳 Method
- If using dried chickpeas, boil them in water until soft.
