Savour something smooth as it slides down your throat.
Life invigorating Sprouted Chickpea Hummus infused with olive oil, tahini, garlic, lemon juice and a trace of salt and pepper, topped with sweet paprika.
This dish will overcome any hurdle that vegan food can’t be simple to make.
Make this:
- When you’ve got a party and need a scrummy dip that’ll go with all the crackers and tortilla chips
- When you’ve got a last-minute dinner party and need a quick and dirty starter that’ll have you
- When the lads are over for poker night and you a snack that’ll fix hunger pangs to go with your lager
Sprouted Chickpea Hummus was inspired when having a raw potluck – a dish that’d satiate appetites and be quick to rustle up.
Not only is this live food but there is a certain nuttiness to the chickpeas which is sometime lost through cooking them. Still this Sprouted Chickpea Hummus retains its creaminess assisted by the tahini, oil and lemon juice.
Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip. Tahini provides the ying and chick pea the yang – aligning perfectly in this dish. High in fibre it promote good gut health.
