He hummus has entered our lives like a essential vegetable pate to snack on, but it can be used in many more ways to take advantage of its exquisite flavor, creamy texture and nutrients.

There are many different recipes, you can prepare the classic hummus with tahini saucealso make it from beets to give it a different color and even from eggplant; or instead of chickpeas, use another legume.

To prepare it, just cook the chickpeas. or the legume you like (here you can see the cooking times), always soaking them the night before or using previously cooked canned chickpeas. Later you must add the lemon juice, garlic, a pinch of salt and tahini. Here you can see the recipe.

But today I would like to propose some 10 different ways to eat hummus without dipping bread in it. Take note!

10 alternatives to eat hummus at home

Hummus in wraps

Just like with sandwiches and toasts, the wraps can be spread with hummus and fill with whatever we want. This layer of hummus will give it the creamy touch it needs so that it doesn’t seem dry but rather juicy and very satisfying.

Vegan burgers

One of the things we can do with the leftover hummus we have is to incorporate them into homemade hamburger doughs. It will provide flavor and creaminess in addition to helping to bind the dough.

hummus lasagna

What if we turned a delicious dish into a delicacy? Instead of pasta, use hummus as a layer between your filling and do it the same, in the oven. The result is sublime, you will love it!

hummus pizza

Instead of using a lot of tomato sauce, put a layer of hummus on the base of your pizza. Hummus goes very well with any topping you put on your pizza: tomatoes, olives, asparagus, artichokes, textured soy…

Pasta with hummus sauce

It’s as simple as thin the hummus with a little water and we will have an exquisite sauce for our pasta. You can also mix it with homemade tomato sauce, more tahini, homemade bechamel, etc.

Mashed potatoes with hummus

For extra flavor, when you make mashed potatoes, add a couple of tablespoons of hummus. It will also leave you with a silkier texture.

hummus dressing

In a small sauce bottle, mix the hummus with a little water, vinegar or lemon, olive oil and some sesame seeds and shake it well. This dressing will work for any salad.

hummus soup

Whether it is a vegetable noodle soup, a creamy soup or a curry, add two or three tablespoons of hummus and dissolve it well in the broth. You will love the result: a rich, full-bodied soup with lots of flavor.

Hummus croquettes

If you like croquettes and you like hummus, why not combine them? When you make croquettes, mix the hummus with the warm dough and form your croquettes as usual. You will love the result: the croquettes will have more flavor and creaminess.

Nachos with hummus

Instead of putting beans or vegan cheese on your nachos, put a few good spoonfuls of hummus, pico de gallo and guacamole. Exquisite!
