This wonderful recipe is from Vicky Jones' book Bean's Pea & Everything in Between, a treasure trove of great recipes for pulse lovers. Sharing food is an important part of life in Ethiopia, where it is the custom for everyone to help themselves to fragrant, spicy stews placed in mounds on a large pancake or injera, which acts both as a communal plate and an eating tool.
Strictly speaking hummus means chickpea but similar dips can be made from any pulse, each with their own distinctive flavour and texture. We make this in large quantities and use liberally as more than just a dip. Like any other hummus this is delicious as a pasta sauce, added to roast potatoes, as an alternative to white sauce in lasagne or moussaka, to thicken soups, cooked in a pie and more!
