Lazy hummus

Lazy hummus

This high-ROI hummus comes together in minutes using whatever canned legumes you have in the cupboard — chickpeas, beans, lentils, all work beautifully. The spices do the heavy lifting on flavour.


What you'll need:

  • 1 can of chickpeas, beans, or lentils (drained, liquid reserved)
  • 1 tbsp The 30 Plants House Blend
  • 1 garlic clove
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
  • A good glug of extra virgin olive oil
  • Tahini — a couple of tablespoons (or any nut cream; peanut butter works a treat)
  • Salt to taste 
  • Reserved liquid from the can, to loosen the mix if you don't like it too thick (optional)

To serve: fresh veg for scooping, tarallini, or breadsticks.


Method:

  1. Drain your can of legumes, keeping the liquid to one side.
  2. Add the legumes to a blender or food processor with the House Blend, garlic, citrus juice, olive oil, and tahini or nut cream.
  3. Blitz until smooth.
  4. If it's too thick for your liking, add a splash of the reserved liquid and blitz again until you reach your preferred consistency.
  5. Taste and adjust — more lemon, more oil, more salt. Make it yours.
  6. Serve with fresh veg, breadsticks or tarallini.
  7. Instant win.


Any can in the cupboard, any nut cream in the jar — this one's impossible to get wrong.
