A really healthy lunchtime snack – and equally perfect as an accompaniment for grown up drinks.

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 5 minutes

You’ll need:

Hummus:

6 cloves of garlic, sliced
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
400g tinned chickpeas, drained
1 lemon zested and juiced
1 tbsp tahini
Salt and pepper

Accompaniments:

400g mixed radishes cut in half
4 warmed pitta breads

What to do:

Place the garlic and olive oil into a medium sized frying pan, heat gently until the garlic starts to turn a golden brown, remove from the heat and set aside.

Place all of the hummus ingredients into a food processor, blend until fairly smooth and season with salt and pepper.

Serve with radishes and warmed pittas.
