[...] Not Just Any Old Hummus [...]

I researched how to freeze hummus, and the consensus is to use a “liquid lid.” Smooth the hummus in the container and drizzle a layer of olive oil on the top of it. I tried this and it worked great! I thawed the hummus and just stirred in the oil on top. Now if you’re avoiding using oil, I apologize as I don’t have an answer for that one. The only thing with hummus is it gets pretty grainy after being frozen without the oil.

I hope this is helpful.

Hi Amy! First THANKS FOR YOUR commitment to yummy, healthy food!
Re: the not just any old humus recipe. If I don’t have yogurt on hand, can I substitute sour cream?

Thanks!

Amy, thanks so much for adding this to the Wholesome Whole Foods carnival! It sounds amazing! I’ve never even thought to add yoghurt to hummus! I love Larousse Gastronomique as well! I’m looking forward to making this, thanks Amy!

@Dana, I haven’t – I have cooked a pound of garbanzo beans then frozen them and used them to make hummus.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work but I could be wrong. If you freeze it, I’d love to know the result.
