Hummus Cigars - great snack

Hummus Cigars are an extremely quick and satisfying healthy snack.

Made from chickpeas, hummus is excellent for little people.

It has an appealing nutty flavor, and contains folate, vitamin B6, and iron.


If first introducing hummus to your little person, exclude the tahini as it can be a very acquired taste.



INGREDIENTS (Makes 8 Cigars)

Little Person Friendly Hummus
400g Can of Chickpeas, drained, rinsed
1 Garlic Clove, minced (optional)
1/4 Cup of Olive Oil
1 Tsp Ground Cumin
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice

Optional Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Tahini

1 Large Lebanese Pita Bread, torn in half to have two circles, then quartered.

METHOD

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until combined. The hummus should be a smooth and creamy consistency.

To make Hummus Cigars:

Take a single quarter of the pita, spread it with a thin layer of the hummus.

Starting from the outside, roll firmly into the triangular point.

Serve - my handing to your little person to eat.

Hummus can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To serve as a dip:
Place hummus in a bowl and serve vegetable sticks and/or toasted turkish bread fingers or pita Chips.
