    Not difficult at all. I just dice some onion and garlic, put it in the food processor with a tin of chickpeas, ground cumin, fresh parsley and coriander, lemon juice and whatever else takes my fancy.

    Process for about a minute, roll into balls and bake for 10 mins in the oven :)

    I like it home made because i can adjust the spices to suit me.

    I make a lot of hummus too, literally takes seconds in the food processor. You wont buy shop bought again once you make it from scratch, and its so much cheaper too.
    Just chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic. Process until smooth.

    It sounds shockingly simple. :o

    Ok,I'm going to try making hummus this week. :money:

    I do have a food processor,but hate using it,as it's such a faff to clean.I'll try by hand.

    Not good, just hungry :D I used to buy a box of 6 from Tesco for £2 and thought it was a good buy..until ii started making my own!

    I just made 14 for about 80p :) Its the simple things that make me happy :) They can be frozen too, so if you wanted to make a big batch and just defrost as needed.

    Hi - can I join please.

    I've done 7 days so far and would like to set a target of 18.

    We have a restaurant at work and it's made me lazy in the past. This year I'm determined to bring my own more often and save some pennies in the process.
