Method

  1. Heat ½ tbsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the onion for 8-10 minutes until softened and browned. Add the garlic and cumin and cook for a minute.
  2. Scoop out 2 tbsp of the onion mixture and put into a bowl then return the pan to the heat. Add the ground coriander and cook for 2 minutes more. Add 2 tbsp chickpeas to the bowl with the reserved onion and put the rest in a food processor.
  3. Add the onions from the pan to the food processor, pour over 100ml water and blitz until as smooth as possible. Season well, add lemon juice and blitz again. Spoon into a serving dish. Toss the reserved chickpeas and onion with the tomato. Spoon on top of the houmous.
