Ingredients

1 can (400g) chickpeas, drained (reserve 2 tbsp of the canning liquid/aquafaba)

2 tbsp olive oil ("a glug")
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp paprika (for garnish)

Method

Simply add all ingredients apart from paprika to a blender and whizz together until smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add more oil or a splash of water until you get to your desired smoothness.

Once blended, serve in a bowl, sprinkle over the paprika, and add another glug of olive oil.

Enjoy!
