Red pepper and jalapeno hummus

This sweet and spicy vegan hummus is one of the dips made by Shelagh that go down a storm at our taster events. You may have tried it at Grow's Future Fair in Hackney Wick or at St Mary's Emerge festival.

Method 

Blend in food processor and adjust lemon and seasoning to taste. Add a little water if the consistency is too thick.  

Place in a bowl and top with more olive oil, smoked paprika and chopped coriander if you like.
