Tomato and Hummus Tartines
By Emilie Raffa, author of The Clever Cookbook

You can make this in a snap and it’s a great way to incorporate succulent, seasonal tomatoes into your world.
Recipe: Tomato and Hummus Tartines
Serves 4
You’ll need:
4 slices of sprouted grain bread
1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced
4 tbsp hummus
Salt and pepper
Small basil leaves to garnish
Lightly toast the bread, then spread the hummus evenly onto each piece. Top with 1-2 slices of tomato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Garnish with basil leaves to taste.
Thank you so much, Emilie! Your cookbook is lovely.
