Instructions: 1. Wash tinned chick peas thoroughly under cold running water and shake dry in a colander.

2. Mix all the ingredients together in a blender - this will mince the parsley so that it goes unnoticed. If you dont have a blender, mash the chick peas with a fork and finely chop the garlic and parsley.

3. Add lemon and seasoning to taste. For children, go easy on the lemon.

Spread mixture into buns which dont need to be buttered and top with medium sliced cucumber for a crunchy texture.

NOTES : Instead of paying high prices for ready-made houmous, make your own and add plenty of iron-rich parsley that your kids wont even notice, and crunchy cucumber.
