Claire says
Can this be frozen ?
Thanks in advance
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Claire, I personally wouldn't freeze hummus. 🙂
Trish says
I freeze hummus in smallish containers all the time, and just grab one when I have run out. Have been doing this for years as I usually make or buy it in bulk, and have never had a problem. It does not affect the taste.
Lucy says
That's fantastic - thanks Trish!
james says
what do you normally use the drained liqliquidud for ?
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi James, you can use a tablespoon or 2 when mixing the dip if it's a little bit dry and too thick. Otherwise you discard it. 🙂
Abi says
Google aquafaba..there's loads of ways you can use it up! 🙂
Anne Marie Barrow says
With morrocan meatballs

Hi Oria, I store our homemade hummus in an airtight container in the fridge and don't normally keep it any longer than 5 days after making it 🙂
