Dill Hummus
You are going to see a lot of chickpeas throughout this blog. In fact I’m sure I’ve already issued that ‘warning’ but I feel like I need to say it again while I share more chickpea love!
I really do love these beans (yes, Garbanzo beans) , I eat them quite a lot, at least every few days in some shape or form.
Reason being - they are super duper healthy, filling and a fibrous staple, especially for us ladies - read the low-down on chickpeas and hormones.
Why dill?
Well, why ever not? it’s the biz! I can’t tell you how much I enjoy it, so fragrant and tasty, it can spruce up anything from potato salad to a tartar sauce, it’s the hero in this dish for sure!
Read on for the recipe.

My notes and tips
As mentioned I love dill, but it’s very pungent, a quarter of an average supermarket-sized packet will be enough for this recipe.
This is very much 5 minute hero of a recipe, whack it all in and blitz. You could roast the garlic first if you find raw garlic a bit much.
