Jerusalem Artichoke Hummus With Rosemary Bruschetta image

This slightly unusual recipe is actually from Marie Claire Cooking. I love the flavour combinations of this dish and sometimes add a teaspoon of tahini to the hummus. The original recipe calls for a loaf of wood-fired bread which I can't get so I use regular Ciabatta instead! I know that the term 'hummus' is used very lightly here & I have to admit that sometimes I use a classic hummus recipe but blend in the Jerusalem Artichoke before serving.
