Instructions
- Crush the clove of garlic with the salt. Drain the chickpeas, reserving the water.
- Tip all the ingredients except the olive oil into a food processor or blender, along with 3 tablespoons of the water reserved from draining the chickpeas.
- Blend until smooth, stopping several times to scrape down the sides. With the motor running, gradually drip in the olive oil.
- Serve with an additional drizzle of olive oil and a black olive for a traditional garnish. This will keep covered in the fridge for 3 days.
Recipe Notes
To make this low FODMAP, do not use the clove of garlic, and replace the olive oil with garlic infused olive oil.
To lower the fat content, use just 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a further 2 tablespoons of reserved chickpea water.
