About
| 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! |
When we cooked this we measured the peas before and after cooking, and calculated the energy used to cook them, to compare the economy of cooking with dried pulses rather than using canned.
Feel free to vary any of the ingredients and quantities to taste!
Makes about 2kg hummus

A deeply comforting, thick, and rustic Italian-inspired soup-stew featuring British-grown dried carlin peas. Slow-cooked with a classic soffritto base, small pasta shapes, and aromatic rosemary, it's a beautifully creamy dish that is perfect for a cosy weeknight dinner.
A deeply comforting Persian-inspired aubergine stew made with naked fava beans instead of yellow split peas, and preserved lemon in place of black lime. Rich tomato, silky aubergine, warm spices, and sharp salty citrus combine to create a rustic, homestyle dish.
Vibrant and comforting Palestinian Rummaniyeh combines olive green lentils and charred aubergine with the deep tang of pomegranate molasses and the silkiness of tahini. A perfect vegan main served with flatbread.
