Cut the end off the garlic, then peel and finely chop the clove. Put in a bowl with the chickpeas, lemon juice, peanut butter and oil.

With adult supervision, use a handheld blender to blitz the ingredients together.

Halve and de-seed the peppers and cut into thick slices. Cut the top and bottom off the carrot, then peel and slice into thick sticks.
5
Put the pitta breads on a baking sheet and sprinkle a little water over them.

Ask an adult to toast the pittas under the grill until puffed up. Slice when cool.

Put the houmous in a bowl and sprinkle on the sesame seeds and paprika. Serve with the peppers, carrots and pittas. The houmous will keep in the fridge, covered, for 2-3 days.
