Hummus is a healthy and refreshing food that can be really quite delicious. One of the great things about hummus is you can get really creative with it. To make it, you basically puree chickpeas—and then that’s where the fun starts!
Here are 3 ideas to get you started experimenting with hummus.
Red Pepper Hummus
To make red pepper hummus, simply empty 2 can of chickpeas into a blender or food processor. Chop up 1-2 red peppers, and add to the chickpeas with salt, pepper and coriander. Blend them all up and serve with carrot sticks or celery.
Hummus Tart
Buy some thin-bake pastry and line a small greased baking tray with it. Put it in the oven for 10-15 minutes while you puree some chickpeas—and your choice of herbs and spices. When the pastry has turned golden brown, fill the pastry with your herby hummus.
Roasted Vegetable Hummus
Simply chop up your choice of fresh vegetables into small chunks and roast them in the oven for 10-13 minutes. A good choice will be something like red onions, peppers, garlic, eggplant, mushroom and zucchini. Puree chickpeas and mix together with salt and pepper.
