Having searched online for different flavours of houmous, I took inspiration from a couple of different sun-dried tomato and basil houmous recipes to come up with my own one. It's not a houmous I've ever eaten before, but with tomatoes and basil being such a perfect combination, I decided it was worth a try!
I've used half of the ingredients from the best basic houmous recipe already here on Felly Bull, and added some sun-dried tomatoes and basil leaves. The end result is absolutely delicious...fresh and vibrant from the tomatoes and basil but without losing the taste of the chickpeas and tahini.
I love houmous as part of a meze, with toasted pitta bread, and with carrot and cucumber sticks for a healthy snack.
Enjoy this delicious sun-dried tomato and basil houmous as a starter, side or snack.
