This dish made its claim to fame on national television. One afternoon, I showed Afternoon Express viewers how to tart up an already spicy chicken-style burger with a delicious red pepper hummus. We used Quorn Vegan Hot & Spicy Burgers – they have chilli in the crumbs – and added the finishing touch with a splodge of creamy guacamole. The hummus is also ideal as a dip for crudités or as a base in wraps.
