Humus is made from chickpeas. I've tried to make my own but wasn't very successfull. There is also a brilliant Jewish recipe which uses chick peas and aubergine but again, i wasn't very succesful in making it. Have a star. I love chick peas :-)

Humous 410g can of chickpeas, drained but water reserved 2 tbsp tahini 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed 3 tbsp lemon juice 1tbsp olive oil paprika to taste (optional) (you can also add sunflower seeds, pine nuts and roasted red peppers but the above is the basic recipe) 1. Put the chick peas, 3 tbsp of the water from the can, the tahini and the garlic in the food processor and blend until fairly smooth 2. Add lemon followed by the oil and the paprika to taste 3. Add extra items if required You really do need the water from the can or it just gets very sticky but I often put in less tahini - you can play around with it till you get the taste you want. Chickpeas are also nice in stews, chilli, curry etc.

I like a chickpea curry! Chickpeas, Onion, Peppers, Cauliflower peas... curry powder etc.. dead easy!
