A tasty take on the classic Mediterranean dip, infused with a mix of aromatic spices that enhance its creamy texture and rich flavour. This spiced hummus pairs beautifully with crunchy veggie sticks, seedy crackers, or a slice of sourdough toast. Quick and simple to prepare, it also keeps well in the fridge for up to a week!
