Humous.

If you're the type of person who likes little snacks in-between main meals, then this quick and simple humous recipe is delicious. As I've had nothing except a cup of soup today, I just fancied a light, quick and healthy snack before dinner tonight.

Ingredients:

• Chick peas (tinned variety is probably the best)
• Extra-Virgin olive oi
• Garlic
• sea salt and cracked black pepper

Personally, I love garlic - so for the average taster, 1 clove per 1 tin of chick peas should be plenty. Add all of the above ingredients to an electric blender/processor and whizz until there's a nice thick paste. About 3 table spoons of olive oil should do for 1 tin of chick peas.

I've just had mine with some ryhbread - but you can have humous with any sort of cracker or even well done cold toast.
