Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    As others have said, this makes a really creamy and smooth hummus. I didn't miss the nutty chickpea flavor as much as I had thought either, so would definitely make red lentil hummus again. But I did find it verging on bland, so definitely plan more lemon juice, and definitely don't neglect the toppings.

    Really good, I was at first afraid it was too much tahini, but it had a nice balance. I needed more cooking water than the recipe called for, as it came out a bit dry.

    I enjoyed this hummus alternative, although my husband said he prefers chickpea hummus. Your preference will probably depend on whether you like chickpeas or red lentils best. It's very creamy and thick, so extra water (or lemon juice, if you like it tangy) may be needed. I topped it with plenty of flavorful olive oil, nigella seeds, and flaky sea salt.
