Parsnip & white bean hummus pincho with pickled carrot

Pinchos are originally from the Basque country in the north of Spain. They are similar to tapas, but smaller in size and with a slice of crusty bread as a base. We have been inspired by this traditional food to create four pinchos recipes full of flavour and using vegetables that you will find in your veg boxes. Two popular root vegetables are the stars of this recipe. The addition of roasted parsnips in the white bean hummus brings a lovely sweetness, that contrasts beautifully with the sharpness of the pickled carrots. This vegan pincho is creamy, tasty and looks beautiful; no wonder it is one of our favourites. Easy and fun to make, pinchos are perfect if you don’t have a lot of experience in the kitchen. But don’t underestimate the power of them - although simple to make, they are always very popular at parties and gatherings and make great canapés.
