METHOD

Put the chickpeas, garlic, roasted pepper, tahini paste and lemon juice into a food processor and blitz. Stir in the walnuts and serve with the vegetable crudités. 

** You can use ready made tahini or make your own. Toast 250g of sesame seeds in a large dry frying pan (be careful to move around frequently so they don't burn). Let them cool a little and then blitz in a blender. Once the seeds have broken down, slowly pour in extra virgin olive oil with the processor running. You may need 3-4 tablespoons, but keep going until you have a paste consistency. Homemade tahini will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
