Nutritional values

Chickpeas are little powerhouses: Besides plenty of protein and fibre, they score points with lots of iron, a trace element that we need for blood formation and oxygen transport, among other things. Almonds and sesame provide us with healthy unsaturated fatty acids.

Vegan becomes the recipe when you replace the butter with a vegetable oil. Important: Since the hummus is baked with almonds, the oil used should be highly heatable.
