Not only is hummus delicious, it’s also quick and easy to make

- Pour the chickpeas into a sieve set over a bowl, straining off the gloopy cooking juices.
- Put the chickpeas into a processor or blender along with the lemon juice, garlic and olive oil. Give the tahini a good stir and then add that, too, with the water and ice cubes.
- Whizz until the mixture is really smooth and the ice has completely melted. Taste and season with a good pinch of salt.
- The hummus will keep in the fridge for 4 days in a jar or covered bowl.
