If you don't have a food processor
you could consider investing in a hand blender as
they are much cheaper and fine for simple dips,
sauces, soups, smoothies and babyfood. Shop
around, wait for sales or special offers!

Hummus
This is a traditional
Greek dish - can be used as a dip or a spread for
sandwiches. It is a lot cheaper to make than buy
though many spermarkets do stock it.
Ingredients:
1 can (approx. 400g)of
cooked chick peas (or you can soak overnight and
cook 1 cup of dried chick peas)
2 Tablespoons of olive
oil
1 - 2 cloves of fresh
garlic
2 Tablespoons of tahini
(sesame paste)
the juice of 1 lemon
a little water to blend
salt and pepper
(optional)
Place all ingredients in
a food processor and blend until fairly smooth -
you may need to keep adding water bit by bit
until you get the consistency you want.
