Warm hummus with pine nuts, raisins and olives

25 MINUTES | SERVES 4 | EASY |

large chickpeas 660g jar, drained (1 tbsp of the liquid reserved) tahini 50g garlic 3 cloves, 2 crushed, 1 sliced extra-virgin olive oil 4 tbsp, plus extra to serve lemon juice 1-2 tbsp raisins 1½ tbsp pine nuts 1½ tbsp cumin seeds ½ tsp pitted Kalamata olives 12-15, roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley chopped to make 1 tbsp pittas or flatbreads to serve

• Put the chickpeas and tahini in a food processor. Cook the crushed garlic and 2 tbsp of the oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat for a 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant. Scrape the contents of the pan into the processor.

Add 1 tbsp of the lemon juice and reserved chickpea liquid, plus ¼ tsp sea salt and some pepper. Whizz until really smooth, then taste and add more lemon juice if needed.

• Put the rest of the oil and sliced garlic clove into the used frying pan. Heat gently over a low heat until the garlic just starts sizzling, then fish out and discard the garlic, and add the raisins, pine nuts and cumin. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until the raisins are softening and pine nuts browning. Take off the heat.

• Warm the hummus in the microwave or a small pan, until just warm, but not hot. Spread over a plate or in a bowl, then spoon the raisins and nuts on top. Sprinkle over the olives and parsley, and an extra drizzle of olive oil, if you like, and eat with warm bread.
