400g canned chickpeas
1 lemon juice
1 or 2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
100ml tahini (sesame seed paste) (optional)
4 tbsp water
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 slices of fresh bread
½ carrot
A couple of spoonsful of hummous (see above!)
A handful of fresh rocket leaves
No Allergens
To make the hummous, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz until very smooth. If you don't have a food processor you can mash together in a bowl, but you will need to work a lot harder to get a smooth finish.
Serve with some extra salad on the side or some halved up cherry tomatoes.Younger babies might not be very keen on the rocket at first - but it's worth giving it a try, or you can try shredding it up and mashing it into the hummous. You can make your own hummous with the recipe here, or buy an organic ready made one - just check the ingredients list for any unnecessary 'junk' ingredients. If you make your own, the pot of hummous will last in the fridge for up to 2 days, or can be frozen for up to a month.
