Cannellini Bean and Rosemary Hummus

Hummus… lovely stuff but only one of the girls can have it, and I’ve never managed to make a great tahini free version. Once the tahini is left out, the whole essence of a good hummus seems to be missing. This cannellini bean version is a pretty good replacement with no sesame in sight – the beans gives a creaminess that is lifted out of blandness by the punchy rosemary, garlic and sharp lemon. In fact, it was hard to stop dipping into it. Perfect served with homemade pittas or breadsticks.
