hummus

Hummus has been a staple in my kitchen for years. I keep a batch in the fridge most weeks. It’s one of those things that works at any time of day – spread on toast, served with crunchy veg, or spooned onto grilled meat and flatbreads. Whether you like it smooth or rustic, plain or packed with extras like roasted garlic or smoky paprika, there’s a version for every mood. This category brings together the best hummus recipes I’ve made, tested, and loved. You’ll find creamy chickpea classics, vibrant beetroot blends, and even BBQ-friendly twists that hold up next to grilled halloumi or chicken skewers. Hummus dates back centuries, with roots across the Levant. Chickpeas and tahini were being blended long before they hit supermarket shelves. I’ve played with different textures, flavours and toppings to make these recipes practical for home cooks and BBQ tables alike. Each recipe includes easy tips, substitutions, and suggested pairings like warm flatbreads, za’atar-roasted veg, or cold salads.
