I didn't want to add ingredients similar to hummus, e.g. tahini, as there was already a container of hummus in the fridge. One product that I like to use and I call it convenience in a tube are herbs made into a paste and sold in tubes. I have both tubes of ginger and lemon grass paste in the fridge. I used the lemon grass paste in making this puree. Since I have several flavoured olive oils in the cupboard, I used a lime olive oil to add to the ingredients. The end result is that the puree has a subtle taste and I can use it in a variety of ways.
