Sweet Potato Hummus

Ingredient

150g cooked sweet potato flesh
300g cooked chickpeas
50g tahini
125ml lemon juice
150ml Red Island extra virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove
Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish:
Half a brown onion (roasted in the oven until golden and crispy)
Toasted white and black sesame seeds
Smoked paprika
Finely sliced chives

Method

This one’s pretty bloody easy.

Place everything in a food processor and blitz it until it’s smooth.

Tips:
Roast the sweet potato whole in the oven at 160 degrees until it’s tender. Then slice open the potato lengthways and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.

Cook the chickpeas in chicken stock. It’ll add to their flavour.
