One of our favourite snacks/afternoon meals right now has got to be spicy peri peri hummus with peri peri drizzle and warm pitta bread dippers. As an easy, on-the-go cravings cracker, this warming meal is perfect for any cold winter afternoon. It is also delicious with carrot dippers as an extra healthy alternative, and is completely vegan friendly!
Derived from our love of Nandos, we developed this recipe to mimic their mouth-wateringly famous Hummus with Peri-Peri Drizzle, which is now available in the shops for £2 a tub. However, by following our Nandos’ hummus recipe and prepping in bulk for the week, you will be able to enjoy this spicy treat for a mere 70p per serving!
That’s way better than half price, and if you’re eating anywhere as much of it as us (and believe me, after you try it you will be!), you can save £13 a week over 10 portions!
I will admit I am no artisan, Michelin star chef, but after trying my best to replicate the delicious peri-peri oil you get with your hummus, I think I have come pretty close to the real thing. Both the Nando’s peri drizzle recipe and the Nando’s hummus recipe are incredibly simple, requiring only a food processor or a blender and absolutely no cooking!

An extra, little tip for you for on-the-go hummus enjoyment, is if you enjoy a Nandos as much as we do then keep your peri drizzle bottles and wash them out for re-use with your own, home-made peri-peri oil! Warm your pittas up on a grill or in the oven if you want an authentic Nandos experience in the comfort of your own home.
Try this out at home and let us know below what you thought of it. Did you like it? Would you add more spice? Or do you prefer hummus without the spice?
