To make the hummus with almond paste, chop the fresh spices and garlic (or blend in the Thermomix TM31 on speed 7 for a few seconds), add the chickpeas and blend on speed 5 until the chickpeas are pureed.
Then add the almond paste and blend on speed 4 for a further 3 minutes or so. Season to taste, add the water and oil and blend the hummus with the almond paste on a low speed until creamy.
