Avocado Hummus with Toasted Pine Nuts

Avocado Hummus with Toasted Pine Nuts

This makes such a lovely starter, for a change from the regular Hummus.

I normally buy this from a shop and just add some toasted pine nuts and a drizzle of excelled quality olive oil.

I serve it with some oven  toasted bread fingers or toasted arab bread with zatar and olive oil

Recipe:

• 1 (15 oz) can chick peas, well drained
• 2 medium ripe avocados , cored and peeled (13 oz before cored and peeled)
• 3 Tbsp olive oil , plus more for serving if desired
• 1 1/2 Tbsp tahini
• 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 clove garlic , peeled
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/8 tsp cumin
• 1 - 2 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro leaves , for topping

To make them very smoth, I must overcook the caned chickpeas and tubbe them to remove the skins.
