TIPS & FAQS

Can I make extra quantities of this hummus?

You can easily make a double or triple batch of this hummus if you have a big party organised or you want to freeze some.

Can I make this hummus runnier?

You can add a bit more chick pea juice or even some water to make the hummus a thinner consistency.

Can I freeze this hummus?

This hummus will last up to 6 months in the freezer or 4-7 days in your refrigerator. If freezing, place into small freezer friendly containers.

What can I serve this hummus with?

It goes really well with Rosemary and Sesame Seed Crackers or Paleo Crackers. However if you are short on time, my favourite store bought crackers are Ceres Organics Brown Rice Crackers with Chia and Carman's Rosemary & Sea Salt Super Seed & Grain Crackers.
This 5 minute hummus also goes well with carrot and celery sticks or you can use in your Buddha bowl or salad.
