Hummus is one of my favourite snacks. It’s satisfying, delicious and simple to make at home. I’ll make a batch a few times per month, throwing in an unexpected ingredient like beets, roasted peppers or sweet potato in the mix. Today’s version came about by accident, on a day when I hit the bottom of the barrel of my tahini jar, an ingredient that is traditional to hummus and that lends its traditional savoury, sesame flavour. I decided to substitute with what I had on hand, some Greek yogurt, in an attempt to create a higher-protein version. The result? A creamy hummus that blends beautifully and is just as satisfying.
