Ravage on something smooth and creamy that will wet your appetite… And, relax.
Buttery floury Butter Bean Hummus with a hint of sweet paprika and a dash of tahini, lemon and virgin olive oil.
This dish will bulldoze any belief that vegan food can’t be easily be made with some simple ingredients
Make this:
- When you’ve got mates coming over for games night and you want a quick and dirty appetiser that will get the evening going
- When you’ve just had a stressful day at work and want something that’ll get you all chilled out in a spree
- When a simple yet yummy starter is needed to get your dinner party going
Butter Bean Hummus was inspired when experimenting with butter beans having run out of chickpeas in my pantry and thinking what a great alternative this might turn out to be with what I had.
Butter beans, I get from a small Spanish deli in Dalston, London. The brand it stocks is called La Asturiana. This is one of the brands, I use. You can find the deli here
Butter Bean Hummus is a condiment and vegan.
