help me with houmous

[Biddlybee]

Really? never knew that, thought they might at least have to put preservatives or something on the label.

 

[DRINK?]

Stir some pesto through it....


I also have butterbeans in the store cupboard.

¥ou would think so wouldn't you? I seem to remember something about there being an amount threshold and if an ingredient is beneath that threshold, you don't have to state it on the label. I could be wrong though - don't quote me on that!

Maybe they whip it or something to get air into it - that could make it taste fizzy...

I don't bother with tahini. I add orange juice or sometimes some yogurt. Tahini just sits in my cupboard for years.

 

[DaRealSpoon]

Yeh, I reckon I've only ever used tehini once or twice. I think we should arrange the first annual 'Urban hummous-off!'. It'll be like the WI and jam, except Hummous... and with urbans..

I can't look at a jar without immediately demolishing a third of it on bread or crackers.

Tahini is really nice mixed with yogurt and a bit of garlic, salt and pepper...

Did he make it?! Was it nice?! Why is he making it late at night!?

 

[Biddlybee]

He tried, I don't think it was, because he was hungry?

...still thinking about this! If they did whip it, it would also make it go a lot further....more product for less ingredient and it is a lighter texture and paler colour than what I make at home. Reckon I've cracked it!

Yes, that about sums it up Bee (although hungry and bored tbf)

I thought houmous starts to go fizzy when it's starting to go off?


Not that it bothers me, I just go stirstirstirstir until all the fizziness has gone.

 

[Biddlybee]

But it has that weird gone off after taste

 

[Kanda]

Just go to Tescos you lazy twat

 

[Biddlybee]

Homemade houmous is nicer

You're the lazy one

 

[Kanda]

Homemade houmous is nicer

You're the lazy one

I'm busy. Not lazy

Yeah fuck off kanda! Go back to slapping monoliths you big monkey!

_pH_ is busy making houmous

 

[Kanda]

_pH_ is busy fucking up houmous

 

[_pH_]

I think kanda may have it more correctly there!

 

[Biddlybee]

 

[madzone]

Yeah fuck off kanda! Go back to slapping monoliths you big monkey!

Why do I find the thought of kanda slapping a monolith quite arousing?

 

[Kanda]

Why do I find the thought of kanda slapping a monolith quite arousing?

cos you're a sex pest?

 

[madzone]

cos you're a sex pest?

Only where you're concerned

 

[Kanda]

Only where you're concerned

That's ok then. I don't want you perving over randoms on the internet!!

 

[Herbsman.]

Not really that much effort, either. Just bung it all in the whizzer, innit?

depends if you boil dried chickpeas or not...

if you use the cooking water instead of plain water, the hummous tastes much nicer

 

[Biddlybee]

Tis true... and that does make it much more of an effort, having to soak them overnight.

Harder if you don't have a whizzer

^ this. I don't have a whizzer.

Five quid for a hand blender in Tesco - cheapskate
