Hummus
Prep time
Total time
Hummus is brilliantly versatile. Once you've mastered a good basic hummus, as this recipe is, you can get creative and add your favourite spices, nuts and herbs. See my spicy, pine nut version, it's good! I serve mine to hungry dinner guests on arrival with roasted baby carrots (see recipe), cucumber and red pepper sticks and toasted wholemeal pitta.
