This delicious smokey, spicy Sun Dried Tomato Hummus is super easy to make and even easier to eat!
We love hummus! This isn't exactly old news. We love making it, we love eating it, we love discovering new ways to make it and things to put it on. I also love new flavours of hummus, which purists will pooh pooh. Well, I say pooh to them, flavoured hummus can be amazing.
Once you try this yummy Sun Dried Tomato version, you'll love flavoured hummus too.
Even better, is how simple the ingredients are:
🔪Ingredients
Chickpeas
Sundried Tomatoes OR Sun Dried Tomato paste.
Tahini
Lemon Juice
A little smoked paprika...
And a blender.
*You'll notice there is no oil in this hummus. I never add oil to my hummus as it makes it too dense and claggy. Instead, I drizzle Extra Virgin Olive Oil over the top.
👩🍳Instructions
One of the nicest things about making hummus, is that all you need to do is blend all the ingredients up until smooth.
If it's a bit claggy, add some warm water. (don't add oil!)
Then top the hummus with Extra Virgin Olive oil, herbs, and some oven-dried cherry tomatoes if you would like to.
🥗Serving Ideas
I like to serve the hummus topped with oven roasted tomatoes, basil leaves and olive oil. Some extra whole chickpeas and toasted pine nuts are also delicious!
