Hummus
Our detox handbook mentions ‘a small amount of hummus’ being allowed, so I adapted my usual hummus recipe by roasting the garlic cloves beforehand to soften the flavour and adding a little yoghurt to thin it down. This recipe also lacks the tahini found in most hummus.
300g can chickpeas, well drained
2 cloves garlic, roasted then peeled
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 tbsp light raw yoghurt
Place the chickpeas and all other ingredients, except for the yoghurt, in the food processor and process until smooth, adding a little more olive oil if needed to get the preferred consistency. Decant into a bowl and gently mix in the yogurt.

That’s an interesting variation. Note that the original recipe is based on dried chickpeas and tahini. It tastes better and far more nutritional. I have a simple recipe in my blog that yo can use. Also, I think you’d like the mesabcha (look under “recipes”).

Thanks for the comment. We batch soak our chickpeas and freeze them for use later but I was in a hurry so I used canned on this occasion. Likewise, as mentioned elsewhere, this recipe was made within the limits of the detox & cleanse regime we on right now. Cheers!
