Traditional Hummus
Hummus is one of the oldest foods in the world dating back to ancient Egypt. We know that chickpeas were used quite frequently over 7,000 years ago.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 400g chickpeas.
- Pinch of pepper
- Pinch of salt
- 2 garlic cloves.
- Pinch of paprika
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ lemon.
- 5 tbsp olive oil.
Method
Using the back of a fork, mash the chickpeas well. You can add a little oil to help with this.
Peel the garlic and chop into tiny cubes.
Put the chickpeas and garlic into a bowl and squeeze half a lemon over this.
Next add the remaining ingredients (cumin, olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika) and stir.
Try using the hummus as a dip or with pitta bread!
Seasonal Recipe
Easter biscuits
Ingredients
Method
* Ask an adult to pre-heat the oven to 170°C, 325°F, Gas Mark 3.
* In a bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Then add the egg yolk and beat.
* Sieve the flour, ginger and cinnamon and fold into the mixture.
* Fold in the currants and candied peel.
* Add just enough milk to make a stiff dough.
* Roll out the dough and cut out the biscuits using a cutter shape of your choice (eggs or rabbits make a lovely Easter theme). Place them on a greased or non-stick baking sheet and ask an adult to bake for 15 minutes.
* Ask an adult to remove the biscuits from the oven and brush with the egg white. Sprinkle the sugar over the top and bake for a further 5-10 minutes.
* If you want, you can ice the biscuits and add details using currants, chocolate chips, cherries etc.
