Today the weather was much nicer than the past week, blue skies and very sunny. We took advantage of this and went for a bike ride, checking out the new Olympics park, and stopped for a lunch at Hackney Pearl, a cafe/bar at Hackney Wick just north of the park. The mezze we had for lunch was excellent: roasted squash, tarka dahl with a strong feta, and a white bean puree, all served with fresh turkish bread. The white bean puree is basically a hummus, but with white bean instead of chickpeas. We never thought you can make hummus with beans, and are inspired to try making it next time with different beans, maybe red kidney beans, or barlotti beans?
