Step by step
Instructions
The biggest shortcut is to use canned beans and rinse them well so the spread has no canned taste. If you make it ahead, it will thicken in the fridge — before serving stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or lemon juice.

Variants and alternatives
Spicy version: add a pinch of chili or a few drops of hot sauce. Extra creamy version: stir in 1 tablespoon tahini or another 1 tablespoon olive oil. Herb version: use chives, cilantro, or spring onion instead of parsley. No blender: mash the beans with a fork, grate the garlic finely and add a little more water.
