Serving suggestions

Fresh tomatoes balance this rich, creamy dish very well.

Variations

Substitute Sundried tomato hummus for a more colourful version.

Chef's note

OK, I admit it - I was a lazy boy and used shop-bought hummus. Adding 4 peeled and crushed garlic cloves makes it a little more interesting.
