Easy-peasy Peri-peri Hummus with Peri-peri Drizzle Recipe
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.

I live very far away from Nando’s. But I have eaten there. And now I suddenly missing it. We are able to buy their sauces here in the states but they are pricey. Thanks for this post. I’m going to try this out soon!
Thanks for commenting ? yeah the sauce itself is quite pricey, but the hummus tastes amazing! We eat it every week as an on the go snack and at work!
It’s honestly the easiest thing in the world to make! And a LOT cheaper to make your own if you eat lots!
I’m going to have to try these recipes! Hummus is my favorite snack, but I’ve never made it.
Yum. I’ve never made hummus, I might try this. Thank you. ??
It’s one of our favourite snacks! Make it weekly ?
Awesome. My husband started making guacamole and now we eat it every week. ?
Sounds delicious.
A favourite in our home and I want to believe that I am the Hummus Queen and therefore hummus snob 🙂 🙂 My recipe is the same; without the peri-peri sauce though! So your version must taste as good or better!!
I do love a bit of spice in my hummus but it would still be amazing without ?
I’ve tried the proper nando’s drizzle tonight in one of their meal kits and I’ve fallen in love with it. I googled to see if you can buy it and it only comes with the hummus. But I’m not a fan of hummus, then I’ve found your recipe for the drizzle, which I definitely want to try. Just one question. Is it white wine vinegar?
And the drizzle-hummus combo is also so expensive! That is why we made our own recipe, to save money. It is plain, distilled vinegar, just to add a bit of tartness to the sauce.

I was craving the peri peri drizzle but didn’t want to go to Nando’s, and I found your recipe. My teenage son and I made it and it’s a hit! the only difference is that we only added a splash of water, to make the sauce thicker.
My son broke out the naan bread (we didn’t have any pittas at home), went quiet (that’s when you know it’s good) and started nodding. Even my husband, who’s not a fan of chilli, loved it. and I mean LOVED it. Next time I’ll have to double the recipe because, well, it’s all gone!
Hey Marga 😁 glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe!
