We all love hummus, but sometimes the original tahini-chickpea-garlic variety start to feel a little, well, monotonous.
“I like riffing on things that are familiar, but presenting them in a new and unique way,” says Seamus Mullen, executive chef of Wanderlust Hollywood. “Taking the idea of hummus and making with with carrots and turmeric rather than lagumes creates a delicious and vibrant starter that is incredibly healthy and super tasty.”
