Hummus:9 original and very tasty recipe ideas!

Indispensable for aperitifs with friends or a barbecue afternoon, hummus is an oriental meze that makes our taste buds tingle! Composed of mashed chickpeas and tahini, we love to eat it with still warm pitas, vegetables such as baby carrots or slices of cucumber, but also spread it in a wrap or a burger. To change from the traditional chickpea hummus, we try new recipes with vegetables, for an original and ultra gourmet dish. Carrot Hummus , beets, peppers or red beans… With chickpeas, all combinations are possible!
