Serving suggestions

Fresh tomatoes balance this rich, creamy dish very well.

A little grated cheese and some chopped spring onions make this a really special quick meal.

Variations

Substitute Sundried tomato hummus for a more colourful version.

Chef's note

Add a few peeled and crushed garlic cloves for a really garlicky dish.
