Hummus for Tiffany

My big sister has a rather humongous heart. A fairly large portion of which holds a special place for two things…

Hummus & Peanut Butter

This one is for you sistaa…

ALMOND BUTTER HUMMUS

INGREDIENTS:

– 400g can of chickpeas

– Two heaped table spoons of almond butter (a slightly healthy option – opt for the standard peanut if you fancy -always crunchy)

– One large clove of garlic
– Juice of one small lemon

– Olive oil

– Smoked paprika
– Sea Salt 

Using almond or peanut butter as an alternative to tahini (the traditional hummus ingredient made from sesame) makes the end product a bit sweeter and much nuttier. And I strongly believe that more things in life should be engulfed and immersed in nut butter.

Rinse the chickpeas and add to a blender. Crush the garlic and add. drop in large scoops of almond butter. Top with a hefty glug of good quality olive oil, lemon juice, a sprinkling of sea salt and BLITZ.

Taste for seasoning, add more olive oil to loosen the mixture if necessary. Serve with more oil, a sprinkling of smoked paprika and fresh coriander if you fancy.

Dip, Spread and Enjoy..
