Dips

I recently prepared a farewell brunch for a good friend and was totally undecided as to what I should make. So I decided to make a variety of dips, accompanied by easy-to-make flat bread. The total prep time was less than half an hour and the final product was amazing. Here are a few of the dip recipes:
Hummus: this is rapidly becoming a favourite both among my family as well as my friends and colleagues. Take a tin of cooked chickpeas and drain the liquid. Add the juice of half a lemon as well as a clove of garlic. Add two to three tablespoons of olive oil to start with and then blend with a hand-held blender. Keep adding olive oil until your hummus reaches the consistency you desire.
Tuna dip: drain the water from a can of shredded tuna and empty contents into a bowl. Dice half an onion as well as a quarter red and a quarter green pepper. Add paprika and black pepper as well as a big dollop of mayonnaise. Stir with a fork, adding more mayonnaise until you reach the consistency you desire.
Pea dip: drain the liquid from a can of peas and pour contents into a bowl. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, three tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, 100g of cream cheese and a dollop of chopped parsley. Blend everything together and add some parsley for garnish.
