I enjoy making dips. Often they need little work, are always appreciated by those who devour them. Also quite simply a home-made dip, simply cannot compare to anything purchased at a supermarket.
Hummus is so simple, I’ve committed the process to memory. I quickly made this up when baking a herb and garlic foccacia!
You may remember Alex, has previously made the Peanut Butter Hummus but alas, with a close family member allergic to peanuts, I’ve only ever enjoyed it at Alex’s house!
I do have to admit though, as much as Alex’s hummus is delicious, I prefer the tahini!
The verdict however, is left with you, so please let us know which you prefer!
