Transcript

This is as good as hummus, but without the chickpeas. Chickpeas are the traditional base for hummus. However, tier making it in the house, we wanted to try something a little bit different. Where chickpeas often need soaking and peeling, butter beans, on the other hand, offer a similar creamy texture when blended whole. They have a naturally high tier content and a softer texture than chickpeas, peas which means they blend into a much smoother and silkier hummus style dip. They also have a much more delicate buttery flavor allowing the other rank to push to the front sweetness of confit garlic tier nuttiness of tahini and the freshness of lemon. To plate we pipe plenty of creamy hummus topped with our puffed quinoa for crunch and finish with a fresh herb oil, perfect for dipping in our house made herb focaccia.
