Hummus with oyster mushrooms and za’atar

5.00

We love to top hummus with a variety of different ingredients including soft boiled eggs, pickles, diced lamb, or even just a simple swirl of olive oil and some parsley. You could use any mushrooms for this recipe, but we prefer torn oyster mushrooms for their earthy flavour and pretty, frilly edges. Serve this dish with warmed flatbreads or pitta, for scooping.
