Syn free hummus

I love hummus and it’s a real go to favourite for my veggie Mum and I but it’s so full of oil that I wanted to make a Slimming World friendly, syn free version.  Plus it has to be one of the quickest, easiest things I’ve ever done!

Syn free hummus and pita chips

This is a base recipe, or the plain version.   You can add your favourite flavours to this (caramalised onion, roasted red peppers, chillis) but I wanted to try a garlicky version with black onion seeds (also called Nigella seeds).  It was very good and really close to a ‘normal’ hummus.  

If you want to make the syn free pita chips that go with this hummus, the recipe is here
