Herby Tortilla Chips & Dips

Make the tortilla chips

• Pre-heat the grill to its highest setting.
• Mix together the dried mixed herbs and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• Place the tortilla wrap on the baking tray and scrape the oil and herb mixture into the middle.
• Using the back of a spoon, spread the oil and herbs over the wrap, sprinkle over a pinch of salt.
• Use the scissors to cut the wrap into triangles and separate out the pieces so they lay on the baking tray in a single layer.
• Grill for 1-1½ mins or until crisp and brown, remember to use oven gloves. Leave to cool on the baking tray.

Make the roasted red pepper dip

• Lay the roasted red peppers onto a chopping board and open them up so they are flat on the board. Using a vegetable knife, scrape out any seeds or white pith, then cut the pepper into thin strips. Finally, cut them into very small cubes and put them into a bowl.
• Peel the garlic cloves. Put the garlic in a garlic crusher and squeeze hard until the crushed garlic comes out, scrape half of this into the bowl of red pepper. Keep the rest of the crushed garlic for making the hummus.
• Pick the leaves off the flat leaf parsley stalks, stack them on top of each other into a pile, roll them up and then snip finely with scissors into the roasted red pepper and garlic.
• Add a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the bowl and mix well.

Make the lemon parsley hummus

• Juice the lemon with a juicer.
• Put the chickpeas into a bowl and mash/crush with a potato masher then continue to mash/crush more finely with a fork.
• Add the reserved crushed garlic to the bowl of chickpeas.
• Pick the parsley leaves off the stalk. Stack the leaves on top of each other in a pile, roll up then snip finely with the scissors into the chickpeas.
• Add in some of the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, ground cumin and a pinch of salt. Mix well and taste – always taste with a clean spoon, no double dipping!

Serve

• Eat and enjoy with the dips with the homemade tortilla chips (or crisps and breadsticks).
