Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Drain and rinse the chickpeas. For an extra-smooth hummus, rub them gently in a clean kitchen towel and remove any loose skins.

  2. 2

    Add the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, ginger, olive oil, turmeric, smoked paprika, cumin, chilli flakes, sugar, salt and black pepper to a food processor.

  3. 3

    Process until the mixture begins to smooth out. Add the lemon juice, then blend again.

  4. 4

    Add the ice cubes one at a time and continue processing until the hummus becomes light and creamy. Use a little ice water if needed.

  5. 5

    Add two tablespoons of Zesty Lemon Sea Moss gel and pulse briefly until evenly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Do not heat the Sea Moss gel.

  6. 6

    Halve the tomatoes. Warm one tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.

  7. 7

    Add the smoked paprika, chilli flakes, chopped herbs and tomatoes. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and become jammy. Season with salt.

  8. 8

    Spread the hummus on a serving plate and create a shallow well in the centre.

  9. 9

    Spoon the warm tomatoes into the centre. Finish with cucumber, pickled onion, fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

  10. 10

    Serve with flatbread, pita chips, crackers or crisp vegetables.

Kitchen Pro Tip:Blend the Zesty Lemon Sea Moss gel into the hummus only after the hummus is already smooth. Keep the tomato topping separate during storage and add it just before serving.
