Love hummus? Build a meal around it.

Rather than simply serving hummus as a dip, make a meal of it by adding blistered cherry tomatoes, roasted nuts, fresh herbs and plenty of charred bread. Calamari, or fried lamb and mint, would also work well.

Ingredients

Hummus

Method

1.For hummus, blend chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice and 50ml water in a blender to a smooth purée. Add olive oil and blend until very smooth, adding a little extra water if necessary, and season to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until required.
2.Heat oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add harissa and stir until fragrant (1 minute), then add tomato and capsicum, and fry, stirring occasionally, until tomato and capsicum start to blister and soften (3-5 minutes).
3.Top hummus with tomato mixture, scatter over cumin, pine nuts and herbs, and serve with bread on the side.
