We can’t quite express how much we’d love to go out for dinner at the moment. It turns out lockdown means a lot of cooking, and we are fantasising about how great it would be to have a night off.
What we are reaching for at the moment is quick and easy recipes that won’t see us slaving over a hot stove all afternoon. We spoke to Holly White for an easy recipe that you can make with store cupboard ingredients, and her go-to recipe is a super simple Hummus that you can throw together in only a few minutes.
Serve with crusty bread and chopped up veggies that need to be used up in the fridge as a light sharing platter. Or dollop generously on the side of a salad or even spread on a sandwich.
As Holly said herself it’s easy to put together and “it forms a great canvas to inject with flavour from whatever spices you have in your cupboard.”
