This homemade hummus is so quick and wholesome, it only takes a couple of minutes to whizz up in your food processor and when you make it yourself you can tweak the ingredients to personalise the taste. I experimented with adding a little grated raw cauliflower to give a it a bit more texture, with fresh garlic and a pinch of chilli to add a kick
Home-made Hummus is such a useful and nutritious staple it’s really worth keeping some in the fridge. If you make a batch at the beginning of the week, you can use it for lunches with raw vegetables, as a dip with hors d’oeuvres, or add it to a mezze bowl of salad. It saves time and it’s great for adding an interesting contrast to all sorts of dishes.
