Mummy’s Fast & Easy

One of my favourite dips/appetisers is definitely the hummus.
And if by now I’ve only tried the classic chickpeas hummus, the other day I discovered another amazing hummus recipe – mung bean hummus.
It was the first time I actually made mung beans.
I have recently spotted them in one of the international food stores.
And because I really like trying new stuff, I bought them. And apparently, they’re not only tasty but are really good for you.
The hummus tasted just divine. I can’t say which one I prefer now – the classic one or the bean one!:-)

Here’s what you need.
