    * An 8 oz. can of chickpeas
    * 6 fl.ozs of extra virgin olive oil.
    * 1 Heaped tablespoon of tahini paste
    * 1 Clove of garlic mashed to a paste with a little salt.

   1. Drain your chickpeas and whiz them, on high, in a Food Processor. 
   2. Add the oil bit-by-bit with the processor still running until you have a smooth paste.
   3. Now add the tahini paste, lemon juice and garlic - using the pulse function on your Food Processor.
   4. Add a couple of good pinches of salt and check for seasoning - everyone has a different idea of 
      exactly how it should taste. 
   5. If the Hummus is too thick - add a little cold water and pulse again.
   6. Chill in the fridge until time to serve.
   7. Portion onto six plates and garnish with the olives, olive oil, tomatoes and chilli powder.

2/. Quick Rough Hummus

Same ingredients and the same method as above except that you only whiz half of your chickpeas 
with the other ingredients, keeping the other half separate until the end.
When you have whizzed all the other ingredients together - mash the other half of the chickpeas 
with a fork and add them in.
This will give a much rougher texture to your hummus, something that many people prefer.
