The versatility of hummous
People often forget that chickpeas are also grown in Italy, so Italians are no stranger to the legume. Hummus is not a traditional dish in Italian cuisine, but paired with slices of Wholeblend Piadina and crudités you have a summer sharing dish that is ready to be enjoyed.
The beauty of hummus is in its versatility - we added beetroot for a striking colour and a slightly earth flavour which works beautifully with the nuttier flavour of the wholemeal durum wheat Piadina. You can also try roasted carrots, peas or even sweet potato as other options that'll add colour and flavour variation to your dip.
Method
Step 1
Toast the cumin seeds in a small pan over a low heat for 1 – 2 minutes, or until they start to release a fragrant aroma. Be careful to not let the cumin seeds catch and burn as this will add an unwanted bitter taste. Remove from the heat and tip into a food processer.
Step 2
Add the oil to the pan and fry the chopped garlic for 30 seconds, add to the food processor with all remaining ingredients.
Step 3
Pulse the mixture until smooth; you can adjust the seasoning to taste at this point. Spoon into a bowl and refrigerate until required.
Step 4
Heat the Piadina in a hot, dry pan for one minute per side then slice and serve with crunchy vegetable crudités.
