Method

  1. Drain the chickpeas over a bowl, reserving the liquid from the can. Tip all but 1 tbsp of the chickpeas into a blender. Add the garlic along with the apricots, curry powder, lemon zest and juice, the tahini or nut butter, oil and some seasoning. Add 4 tbsp of the reserved chickpea liquid and blitz to a smooth paste, adding more liquid if needed. Chill until needed. Will keep chilled for up to two days.

  2. To serve, spoon the hummus onto a plate or into a shallow bowl, using the back of the spoon to create a dip in the middle. Top with the onion, pomegranate seeds, nigella seeds, herbs, reserved 1 tbsp chickpeas and a drizzle of oil. Serve with pittas and crudités for dunking.
