I’m not entirely sure what children ate in the world before houmous. Was there even a world before houmous?!?! Is there a single way of spelling it we can all agree on?!? It’s certainly one of those foods which ends up on the table or in a lunchbox more than once in the week. But to ring those changes I have decided to mix up the dips in the house a little and we have instead been enjoying this White Bean Pate, which takes the high protein, high fibre and big taste elements of regular houmous for a yummy twist. Better still it takes minutes to make and is perfect for anyone with a sesame allergy as the tahini found in houmous is omitted here.
I have used Argentina beans in this dish because I like to use cook up a pack from time-to-time and freeze them ready to use in bags. You could also use any tinned white beans or a combination of a few.

I have not yet tasted humus but I know it is being touted as being very healthy for us. It is good that you are developing in your children the need for healthy eating patterns
That looks tasty and super easy. Think I’ll have to try it out. thanks for sharing 🙂
My husband would LOVE this! I’ll have to give it a go!
