At EARL, we go through over 1 1/2 tonnes of Mount Zero chickpeas every year. Naturally, they are the base for our hazelnut hummus which we soak, cook and blend twice weekly. Our hummus is a little bit special: we substitute roast hazelnuts for tahini, giving the hummus a sweet, nutty flavour. The time taken to soak and cook chickpeas is such a worthwhile investment in amazing flavour and texture over an imported tinned product.
