Can I freeze home made hummus

Options
Hello all


As the title says really, can I freeze home made hummus? I soaked and cooked the chickpeas over the weekend, I'm not sure how long they'll last in the fridge as they are. I've got a gifted jar of tahini in the cupboard that, as my 80something gran would say, I am b****y well sick of looking at - so hummus it is! Ideally I want to take it for lunches next week with homemade toast, which I'm guessing is too long for the hummus to be kept in the fridge.


I am in a vicious chickpea cycle...

    Yes it freezes well, it might seperate a bit on defrosting but nothing a good stir doesn't sort out

    There was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago.

    I have always frozen both HM and SM Hummus and it's fine after a good stir. I sometimes add an extra splash of olive oil after defrosting if my HM stuff is a bit thick iyswim ;)

    Thanks Karcher, sorry I didn't spot the old thread :( I've now made such a huge batch of smoked paprika hummus, an 'embarrassment' of hummus, if you will :) Frozen all but one batch, which is in the fridge, because I know when DH spots it he'll want some!
