Cornichons Hummus and Lebanese Grazing Platter with Maille

Come Friday nights and the weekend and I get a bit over cooking dinners and I prefer having a relaxed meal in the form of a grazing platter with my family or friends.

We eat it in the lounge room while watching a family movie or outside in the garden in summer while the kids play and we get to chat about our week.

I like to keep our grazing platters healthy by adding cut up fruit and vegetables and some homemade dips. This time I made cornichons hummus made with Maille

Cornichons Original. Hummus is a great source of plant-based protein as it is made with chickpeas and it also contains lemon juice, garlic and tahini so it is really healthy.

For this Lebanese platter I added:

• Radishes
• Dolmades
• Wholemeal pita bread
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Cornichons from Maille
• Cucumber sticks
• Olives
• Artichokes
• Cornichons hummus (recipe below)

For the hummus here is the recipe.

Cornichons Hummus:

• 2 cans of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• ½ cup of Maille Cornichons
• 1 tbsp of tahini
• 1 lemon juiced
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 tbsp of cornichons juice
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• 1 tsp of sea salt
• 2 tsp of cumin powder
• 1 tsp of onion powder
• pepper

1. Drain and rinse your canned chickpeas, in a blender blitz the chickpeas and the rest of the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
2. Pour into a bowl and top with additional diced cornichons, sea salt and olive oil.

So easy!

This hummus is also great to use as a spread in sandwiches, kids lunches or for a snack with a spoon haha!
