Homemade Hummus
This is my favourite hummus recipe - it has been a staple in my kitchen for years! I love making a batch of it for the week ahead, ready to accompany breakfasts, lunches, snacks and dinners throughout the week. I love having it with scrambled eggs and homemade baked beans, on toast with grilled tomatoes for lunch, raw veggies for an afternoon snack and a side to a yummy sweet potato stew for dinner.
It’s super easy to make, however you do need a good blender to mix it up - or an arm workout!
