There is nothing quite as amazing as a good hummus, and this one certainly fits the bill. You can of course replace the whole cooking-the-chickpeas yourself thing with a tin or two of drained chickpeas, but the texture will be a little different – and on the satisfaction scale, it is pretty cool to start from scratch.
Hummus is a great way to experiment with flavours you love. Really let your taste and imagination go wild, there are whole recipe books dedicated just to hummus; the sky is the limit.
