Cherry Peppers with Hummus

Cherry Peppers with Hummus, cherry peppers filled with hummus in oil

Mild cherry peppers, filled with creamy hummus of chickpeas and tahini sesame paste, preserved in oil. A fruity, savoury antipasti speciality by Sydney and Frances for a snack board, mezze and starter plates, ready to enjoy straight from the jar.

How to use

Cherry Peppers with Hummus are a classic for the mezze and antipasti plate, with bread, cheese and wine. They work on tapas plates and buffets, as a snack with aperitivo or as a garnish for salads, pasta, pizza and bowls. For a quick starter plate, arrange them with olives, flatbread and a dash of olive oil.

Good to know: after opening, keep them in the fridge and make sure the peppers stay covered by the oil, then they keep longer. Let them come to room temperature briefly before serving, so the aroma comes through better.

What makes them special?

The combination is the appeal, the mild, lightly fruity heat of the cherry peppers and the creamy, nutty filling of chickpea hummus with tahini. The result is a bite that needs no preparation and still tastes homemade.
