It’s always nice to have a snack in the fridge to use as a spread on sandwiches or tortilla, combined with salad or other vegetables.
This recipe is a variation of the well-known chickpea hummus but made of white beans. I always cook a little extra when I’m making a traditional Bulgarian white bean stew, and before I add the tomatoes, I put aside a cup or two to make some of this hummus.
In this recipe I have added the traditional hummus flavours but is possible to try out different styles like with some sun dried tomatoes, roasted paprika etc.
