"On the streets of Jerusalem, at a stall open from 5am to 10am and run by a 15-year-old boy and his Dad, I ate the best hummus of all time. It was mind-blowingly fresh, served hot with onion cut into ‘spoons' for scooping, pickled cucumber and bread. My signature hummus is inspired by that experience, but has a heavier hand with the tahini. It's simple, cheap, comforting and a must-have addition for any Israeli mezze." – Charlie Carrington.
