TIPS
- Use Fresh Rice Cakes: Opt for crisp rice cakes to prevent sogginess.
- Spread Evenly: Apply hummus in a thin and even layer for better topping stability.
- Cherry Tomato Choice: Use firm and ripe cherry tomatoes to prevent excess moisture.
VARIATIONS
- Add Avocado: Mash a few slices of avocado under the hummus for extra creaminess.
- Spice It Up: Add a dash of paprika, chilli flakes or cumin for a flavour kick.
- Different Seeds: Swap sesame for pumpkin or sunflower seeds for variety.
- Protein Boost: Add sliced boiled egg or chickpeas on top of the hummus.
- Mediterranean Twist: Include sliced olives, cucumber or a few crumbles of feta cheese.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerate Separately: Store hummus and toppings separately from the rice cake to keep it crisp.
- Assemble When Ready: For packed lunches, assemble just before eating to avoid sogginess.
- Not Freezer Friendly: Due to the rice cake’s texture, freezing is not recommended.
