Italian Hummus (Vegan + GF)

This Italian Hummus is made with creamy white beans and flavoured with fragrant rosemary.

One of the most popular post on my blog is this Wagamama-Inspired Salad Dressing, so I thought doing more restaurant-inspired recipe posts was the way to go!

The recipe here is pretty similar to a normal hummus recipe, but you just substitute the chickpeas with cannellini beans (or any other white beans you have on hand should work, like haricot beans or butter beans).

What I found unique about the Prezzo Italian Hummus was the delicious pairing of the creamy white beans with the aromatic rosemary.

It actually came served with a "roasted red pepper tapenade" on top, but as I didn't have time to make this, I decided to drizzle the hummus with chilli oil instead.

I feel this works in a similar way, adding a spicy kick to the garlicky, tangy hummus. If you do want to go down the roasted red pepper tapenade route, perhaps you could try this roasted red pepper sauce?

Like all other dips, this hummus is perfect for you to enjoy alone for a quick lunch with bread, crackers or vegetable crudités. It would also be delicious in a Buddha Bowl.

It also makes a great make-ahead appetiser if you're feeding a crowd. It caters for a variety of dietary requirements too, because it's vegan and gluten-free.

I hope you'll love this Italian Hummus! Looking for more great dips? You might like this:
