HMMM… HUMMUS OR HOUMOUS
Hummus, a wonderful Greek condiment. The basic recipe is made by combining chickpeas with tahini and is open to endless added flavours. Chickpeas are high in B vitamins and particularly high in folate. Tahini, made from sesame seeds, is a great vegan source of calcium and iron. Hummus is rich in healthy fats and a good source of plant-based protein, so makes a great choice for anyone avoiding dairy or nuts.
Enjoy as a snack with vegetable sticks, or dolloped on top of a salad for a light lunch.
