Probably a silly question, but for the rainbow hummus recipe in the Clever guts book, do I divide the original hummus recipe into 4 and then use a quarter in each of the recipes for adding colour or do I need to make 4 lots of the original hummus recipe?

Stevoka: Not a silly question, the name ‘muddies the waters’.

The original recipe – one can of chickpeas – serves four. With any single coloured vegetable addition one can of chickpeas is bulked out to six servings. So green OR purple OR red OR yellow.

If you make four times the basic recipe – four cans of chickpeas – and all four colours you’d have to eat hummus for every meal, or have a Clever Guts themed dinner party!

Thank you for your reply. So if I wanted to make a smaller amount of all of the recipes, I should essentially divide the amount of the ingredients for each of the colour recipes by four so that a Clever Guts themed dinner party isn’t necessary! 🙂
