Yellow Pepper and Butterbean Hummus

Serves: 15 people

Recipe course: Appertizer

Total time (min.): 20

Complexity (1 to 3): 1

A quick and healthy hummus alternative made using butterbeans instead of chickpeas. If you are short on time you could use roasted peppers from a jar- use red peppers if you cannot get yellow ones- or if you have time, roast the peppers first, then leave them to cool before making this recipe.

Store in the fridge in an airtight container, or in the chopper bowl itself with the blade removed and the lid fitted, for 3 days.
