Yummy Hummus

Ok so a looooong time ago my dad invested in loads of beans, peas and pulses, it's safe to say they've never really been out of the box :P So when my sudden yearning for hummus came along i cracked out the chick peas !!!  Though this hummus has the optional addition of yummy soya beans :) Try it out, guaranteed to like it :)

Ingredients
  • 1 cup chick peas
  • 1 cup of soya beans
  • 100ml virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1-2 tsp sage
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 1 tomato
  • 1/2 onion
  • chilli flakes 
  • 1/4 squeezed lemon
  • 1tsp honey
  • salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  1.  Soak  the soya beans and chick peas in cold water for 8 hours (if they are tinned then there is no need to soak) Then drain them. 
  2. Place the beans and peas into a saucepan and bring to the boil, then leave to simmer for 40 minutes.
  3. Crush the garlic.
  4. Chop the tomato and onion.
  5. Add the all of the ingredients so far into a food processor and give it a quick blast.
  6. Then add all the remaining ingredients and pulse untill it has reached your desired consistency 
  7. Taste and add ingredients as you wish i added a few fresh leaves of basil, extra yummy :)
  8. Then serve and enjoy :)
