Method

Into a blender place the butter beans (including most of the liquor from the jar), the garlic, tahini and the juice of 1/2 a lemon.
Blend to desired consistency, adding the remaining liquor from the jar of butter beans if required. Season with salt and pepper.
Rinse the chickpeas with cold water, let them dry and then lay out on a baking tray. Sprinkle seeds, walnuts and sesame seeds onto the tray. Drizzle with olive oil and honey and mix thoroughly.
Place into the oven at 200C for 8-10 minutes until toasted and crispy.
Pour the houmous in a bowl, topped with the chickpea, nuts and seeds, and serve with warm flatbreads and a variety of veggie sticks to dip and dunk.
