Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice
- 1/4 cup of tahini (hulled or unhulled - the latter gives a stronger, nuttier taste)
- 2 Tbsp of olive oil
- 1/2 tbs of salt
- 1/2 tbs of cumin
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 can of chickpeas (the ones from Aldi are the best - cheap and low in salt)
- 1/4-1/2 cup of reserved liquid from chickpeas (depending on the consistency you like your hummus)
Preparation:
- Wash oranges and place unpeeled, in a pot of boiling water for 2 hours. Drain the water and allow the oranges to cool. This can be done ahead of time.
-
Break 6 eggs into a mixing bowl or blender.
Add caster sugar and beat or blend
together.
Place the two oranges into the egg mix. Break up the oranges and then blend together to a smooth consistency. Add the almond meal and baking powder and blend. - Grease a 20 cm spring form baking pan with margarine (or vegetable oil spray) and dust with caster sugar.
- Pour batter into the pan and sprinkle caster sugar on top and bake for 1 hour to an hour and a half or until the top is golden brown.
- Dust with icing sugar to serve.
