Method

  1. Drain the cooked chickpeas and rinse them under cold water; if you have a few minutes, rub them between your hands to slip off the skins for a smoother hummus.
  2. Peel the garlic, remove any green sprout and put it in the food processor with the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
  3. Blend, adding 2–3 tablespoons of cold water a little at a time and scraping down the sides, for 2–3 minutes until smooth and fluffy; taste and adjust the salt and lemon.
  4. Peel the carrots, trim the ends and cut them into sticks about 7 cm long; wash the cucumber and cut it the same way.
  5. Spoon the hummus into a small bowl, smooth it with the back of the spoon and serve with the carrot and cucumber sticks around it.
