1 x 425g tin of chickpeas (drained)
4 tablespoons of wholegrain mustard
1 tablespoon of fresh coriander or parsley (chopped)
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
salt & freshly milled black pepper to taste

Method

Heat the olive oil in a pan and gently fry the onion, garlic and celery together, with a lid on, until soft.

When soft, stir in the Balsamic vinegar, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
When cool, put the onion mixture together with all the other ingredients into a food processor and blend till smooth.

Pop into individual ramekins or one large ramekin, cover and put in the fridge until required.
