I am seriously into my hummus. I can’t get enough of the stuff. On corn cakes, rice cakes, with crudités and salads. You name it, it’s got hummus on it.

I’ve used the Duchy Originals organic version a lot but I decided I needed to trial and test some recipe and I think I’ve found the one by Deliciously Ella.

It’s a blend of blend of spicy cumin, tangy lemon, sweet basil leaves and creamy tahini blended with chickpeas, olive oil, and water until perfectly smooth.

Not only is it delicious, versatile, easy to make it’s very healthy too being a solid source of plant protein and fibre.

• 4-6 tbsp of water
