Five minutes in a food processor: white beans, jarred roasted peppers, smoked paprika and lemon. It's creamy enough to pass for hummus, but it has no tahini.

Tavern Night

This dish's twist table (d6)

1–2	The classic stands. No twist. Cook it as written.
3	Herb swap. Top with chopped parsley or dill
4	Acid strike. Add lemon zest along with the juice
5	Plating challenge. Spoon into small cups with the vegetables standing in it, one per player
6	Host's boon. The Host picks any twist above, or the table invents one. The safety rule still applies.

Roll before you start cooking. No twist ever changes a time, a temperature or how done something must be.
