Variations

If making 12 serves:

  • Carrot hommus: Toss 2-3 leftover carrot sticks in olive oil and cumin then bake for 20 minutes until carrots are tender. Allow them to cool then blend or toss with the other ingredients.
  • Green hommus: Add some finely chopped parsley, chives and coriander to the basic recipe.
  • Moroccan hommus: Add 1 teaspoon of Moroccan seasoning to the basic recipe and replace the olive oil with sesame oil.
  • Orange hommus: finely grate the rind of one orange (avoid the white pith). Add it to the basic recipe and use orange juice instead of liquid from the chickpeas to get the desired consistency.
