Hello my friend! How is your week going? I don’t know about you but the days seem to be flying here and I still have so many things on ‘the to do list that was supposed to have got a lot shorter whilst we’re staying at home. You know that one? Saying that thought, I managed to re-decorate my bedroom, bathroom and upstyle my dining table! Have to give myself some credit I guess. Anyway, I hope you are doing well and finding some positives to take away from this challenging time.

Now, let’s talk about hummus, shall we? Are you a fan? If I’m honest, I don’t know many people who aren’t… In my eyes, it’s one of the best healthy snacks you can get your hands on. Whether you’re dipping vegetable sticks into it, smothering it all over your rice crackers, adding it to your salad or using it on your pizza, it’s a great dip to keep in the fridge for a quick fix snack or meal.  

WHICH INGREDIENTS DO I NEED TO MAKE SMOKED PAPRIKA HUMMUS?

I kept this smoked paprika hummus very simple. You only need 6 staple ingredients to prepare it. Yes, you heard it right! Just 6 key ingredients!

Smoked paprika hummus ingreients – Fit Foodie Nutter
  • Tinned chickpeas
  • Tahini paste, which adds extra creaminess to this hummus
  • Garlic, which is one of my top cooking ingredients, especially during this pandemic, as it’s well known for boosting the immune system and helping fight germs.
  • Smoked paprika (not to be confused with hot paprika) adds a new layer of smokey-sweet flavour to this hummus
  • Lemon juice
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

Although this hummus is totally delicious on its own, I decided to take it up a notch and turn it into a Loaded Hummus Bowl by topping it with a mixture of chopped up vegetables (cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives), vegan feta cheese, pine nuts and chopped up coriander. Oh my goodness, my daughter and I kept digging into this bowl for a very long time! When I sent a picture of this hummus bowl to my girlfriends (oh the joys of staying in quarantine!), they all asked me to make it for them at out first post-quarantine gathering!  

HOW DO I MAKE HUMMUS?

It couldn’t be any easier! Add all hummus ingredients into a food processor and blitz for 3-5minutes until smooth. And that’s it!

HOW TO SERVE SMOKED PAPRIKA HUMMUS

This loaded hummus bowl would make a great centrepiece for any table. I used beautiful peach pottery gifted to me by a very talented local pottery artist Jenny Hopper from JH Pottery, which made this hummus look even more photogenic, don’t you think? Feel free to head over to Jenny’s website and have a little browse.

So, when it comes to the hummus toppings:    

  • Fresh or grilled/roasted vegetables
    I loaded my hummus bowl with ‘Greek Salad’ style veggies (cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives), vegan feta cheese, pine nuts and chopped up coriander. However, you can serve this hummus with any other vegetables of your choice. Roasted or grilled veggies (peppers, tomatoes, aubergines, courgette) would also make a great topping.
  • Fresh herbs add a great flavour to the hummus. I love adding coriander to absolutely everything but I know some people find its flavour too strong. You can substitute it with parsley, chives, sage or any other herb of your choice.

  • Pine nuts add an extra layer of crunch to this dish. You can use any other nuts or seeds of your choice: walnuts, cashew nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds etc.
  • Pitta bread triangles or tortilla chips will serve better than traditional spoons on this occasion
  • As a finishing touch, add a little glug of extra virgin oil to make this hummus extra appetizing.

#ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there wer #ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there were nowhere near as many plant-based options in the supermarkets as there are this year. Personally, I find it so much easier to eat plant-based now when there's such an abundance of delicious vegan products, even in the local shops.This @coopuk GRO plant based  mushroom & spinach Wellington from my local Co-op tasted absolutely divine - 'meaty' & creamy on the inside & crunchy & crisp on the outside👌🏻 It's gone down like a treat with my (rather fussy) daughter too, which makes me one happy mum, I must say! ☺️I'm so pleased that Co-op are extending their plant-based offer this January & nearly doubling the choice of their vegan GRO products from winter-warming spiced pie to Asian-inspired noodles, there will be plenty of choices to suit all taste buds 😋 This makes eating plant-based so easy & rather exciting too. Pop in to your local Co-op and check it out for yourself 😉#Veganuary #ItsWhatWeDo

No problem 😎 This quick & easy vegan broccoli & cheese soup that I made with @violife_foods Epic Grated Mature Cheddar is comfort food at its best, especially during these cold winter days. Thick, creamy & bursting with flavours, it's one of those easy recipes you'll go back to again & again (full recipe below) 🍲If you haven't yet tried @violife_foods vegan products (free from dairy, lactose, soya & gluten), I'd really encourage you to do so. In my humble opinion, Violife cheese alternatives are one of the best at the vegan isle. You can find Violife products in Asda, Coop, Holland & Barrett, Sainsbury's, Tesco & Waitrose.
