#Paleo friendly hummus

As we're not supposed to eat chick peas, that means, no hummus; which for me, is not a good prospect.

So, imagine my delight when we found a recipe for hummus on the back of some cashews.

5 garlic cloves (peeled and crushed)
1 tbsp olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
salt and freshly ground pepper
30g cashew nuts

Blend the garlic, oil, lemon juice, seasoning and cashew nuts in a food processor until combined and smooth, adding extra oil if necessary.

I doubled the recipe, but I have to say, 10 raw garlic cloves is like eating a lemon while somebody sprays pepper spray directly into your mouth.

Maybe the original recipe would be tamer, but this I can tell you...go easy on the garlic!

The consistency and basic taste (once your face returns to its natural position) is actually really good, a viable alternative to 'normal' hummus. I WILL be trying it again.
