Help! !! My hummus looks like Tubby Custard

[Yonihadtoask]

I quickly attempted to make some hummus for a party this afternoon. In my rush/fug of painkillers - I didn't drain the tinned chickpeas first.

Any ideas how I can thicken it up?

I guess buy another tin of chickpeas and make a bumper batch?

It tastes good, but looks ridiculous.

Did you sort it out? I often slip and make it runnier than I'd have liked, I have considered adding a little cornstarch as a possibility or, like you say, more chickpeas but do you actually want that much hummus?!? You could leave it uncovered and hope that it dries out a little? Hope you enjoy the party.

I had to go and buy more chickpeas.

Bumper batch of hummus now :-)

It will get eaten

Oh well done, did you add extra garlic, tahini etc as well? I'd like to see if a touch of corn flour would work, often saves a gravy but that's cooked, of course. Hope the party was a success.
