Enjoy food and get slimmer

1 can chick peas – drained and rinsed
1 aubergine
1 clove garlic
Juice of 1 lemon
2 pinches rock salt
1 pinch black pepper
Paprika (optional to serve)

Preheat your oven to 200’c
Stab the aubergine a few times with a knife or fork to allow the steam to be released (if you don’t do this your aubergine could explode! Pretty messy job cleaning the inside of an oven – trust me)
Bake aubergine for approx 25-30mins or until it is completely soft to touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool while you place your chick peas, garlic, lemon, salt & pepper into a food processor or blender.
Once the aubergine is cool enough for you to touch remove the skin and scrape the middle into the blender.
Blend together until you reach your desired consistency. I like my hummus quite smooth so I add a little extra water and blend for around 1 minute. For a chunky hummus do not add water and blend for around 30 seconds.
This hummus is actually pretty tasty warm but to allow the flavours to develop leave it to chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
