In our Recipe 101 features, we choose a favourite vegan dish, meal or staple and pick three of the best recipes for it. We’re going straight in with the ultimate vegan can’t-do-without: hummus! In our humble opinion, our failsafe hummus recipes come with sincere thanks to Jamie Oliver, Minimalist Baker and Oh She Glows.

Jamie Oliver

Totally Vegan Buzz Verdict: this is a super quick and easy hummus recipe, with minimal ingredients. Our tip? Let it stand at room temperature for a bit so allow the garlic to mature and infuse in the mixture.

Oh She Glows

Totally Vegan Buzz Verdict: This is a surprisingly simple hummus recipe, in spite of its more unorthodox ingredients. Our tip? We love the tabasco spin, but if heat in food isn’t your friend, you’ll want to err on the modest side with the amount you use (if any!)

Minimalist Baker

Totally Vegan Buzz Verdict: Yummers. There’s an added depth and luxury to this actually very quick hummus recipe. That’ll be the microwave hack! Our tip? Hot hummus is a bit weird, so you definitely, definitely need to allow yourself enough time to prep this dish before it’s good to go.
