Truffle Hummus

Truffle Hummus: a glamorous appetizer for a festive party!

The festive season equals fingerfood heaven for me! At every party you’re presented bite-sized morsels of festive goodness – some better than others, but I always find that miniature food is fun.

I already have quite a good fingerfood repertoire, but I love to develop new recipes for my annual Xmas party.

This year, I decided to go with an oriental theme and focus on middle-eastern inspired food. This hummus is pimped with truffle oil, giving it an instant wow-factor and making it a very festive treat. For an even fancier version, you can fill the hummus into a piping bag and pipe it onto little bread stars, like I did here.

Also check out my festive quinoa cups and merguez pyramid pastries that go with my oriental fingerfood spread.

Thanks to Villeroy & Boch for sponsoring the beautiful Orient-Express La Classica Contura crockery and Bernadotte Champagne glasses for this recipe.
