I would personally add tahini to this - just makes it that little bit creamier and mmmmmm. I've never been able to work out a proper amount of it though - just a few splodges until it looks right - experiment!!

I'm going to try the baking them as savoury snacks thing

what is tahini

jaybee

160 - shouldn't that be easy chick-peasy ::)

Sorry - tahini is sesame seed paste. Theoretically, put enough sesame seeds in the blender and you should be able to make it that way, but I've never tried it - it's stocked in health food shops but I think it's probably also in Asda etc these days - try asking next time you're in the supermarket I'll check Asda next time I'm there!

my local co-op will order me someting if they sell it in other shoips, worth a word with the manager. mine get me crispy white fair trade chocolate which they dont sell in my branch.

if you happen to be going on holiday to Greece that's where i got my last lot of tahini. bought a couple of jars when i was there last year and still going strong (though have almost finished the one with honey in - lovely on toast )

also, re: chick peas my tip would be buy tins. i think its false economy to boil them as takes forever (unless you have an aga which is on anyway) plus i always burn them!! ::)

rach, can you get it through customs. my brother got stopped with a jar of honey from france. just a warning.
