Easy Mezze: Dressed Hummus

Hummus dressed two ways — pistachio and mint, and sumac and paprika

Elevate your hummus with a drizzle and a sprinkle — try these two flavour profiles. Ubiquitous but delicious, hummus turns up just about everywhere, and from the many pottles on offer it has to qualify as a Kiwi favourite. Don't just drop it on the table in its pot with a few crackers.

Lemon, Pistachio and Mint

Pile the hummus into the middle of a bowl and use the back of a spoon to create runnels and dips for the oil to settle in. Drizzle with olive oil. Chop a handful of shelled pistachios and scatter over with torn fresh mint and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Sumac, Chilli and Smoked Paprika

Pile the hummus into the middle of a bowl and make the same runnels for the oil. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with sumac, chilli flakes and smoked paprika. Salt generously.

Notes

The two hummus brands pictured are KOHKOZ Garlic Hummus (very smooth, with a good amount of tahini) and Lisa's Garlic & Lemon Hummus (more texture). KOHKOZ seem to be stocked in the North Island only — click through to buy direct if you're not near a stockist.

The Pairing

Mezze like this loves a crisp, dry white or a chilled rosé. Browse the Pinot Gris + Riesling or rosé collections.
