Seeing as though all the shops have removed their houmous products.....

[oliveoil]

.....can anyone give me a recipe please?

I want it to taste like the one Tesco make.

Thank you!

I thought it was only M&S who recalled theirs?

Funnily enough I tried making some yesterday-chick peas,lemon juice,garlic and oil.
Think I made the mistake of not rinsing the chick peas and then usin extra virgin olive oil-wasn't very nice.

Will watch this thread with interest though for a better recipe.

why have they done that?

well in the paper yesterday it said that Tecso, Co Op, M&S and Sainsburys have

made by same supplier I think

salmonella kitty

Salmonella risk in some.

Perhaps add a spoon of tahini paste too.

Home-made humous never tastes anything like shop-bought - don't know what they put in theirs.

You need to use tahini in it.

It's a sesame seed paste, you can buy it in health food stores and some supermarkets. It isn't going to taste right without it.

I know

we have tried and dh makes everything from scratch, we don't 'do' packets and jars

but houmous has to be Tesco or Sainsburys at a pinch

Hello LIZS

chickpeas, lemon juice garlic, olive oil, tahini (i prefer to use light) and seaseme seeds if you like. blend to taste. if you really want it to taste like supermarket hummous you will need a good blender and a heavy hand with the oil.

200g cooked chickpeas
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Put the first five ingredients in a food processor and process until almost smooth (you may need a few extra tbsp water or lemon juice to loosen it). Season and put in an airtight container. Chill until needed.

can I use tinned chickpeas?

Ah-I knew I had forgotten something! I even have some in the cupboard.Tried it on toast once on it's own and was surprised at how bitter it was.

I make most things from scratch

have NEVER been able to make a decent houmous though ..

I wouldn't bother .. its quite shocking the amount of oil you have to put in

have tesco's recalled the one in the kosher aisle too because I don't think that'd be the same manufacturer .. its slightly different from the standard one but ok

no you can't use tinned you must move to the middle eastern country and grow them yourself. (yes tinned should be fine, organic ones do taste better)

Defintiely could use tinned chickpeas just drain them well and rinse if not in water.

sigh

will try the shops then at lunch as see if I can find any tubs

dd1 and dd2 love it and it gets veggies in

someone will not come on and tell me it is full of salt and doom

tinned chickpeas just as good.

now

did you pass your driving test oo?

If you don't want it loaded up with too much oil you can use water to loosen the texture.

I fear the oil and salt are what makes supermarket blend taste good though.

If your supermarket has a kosher section you can still get it as that comes from a different supplier, to the others (those are from Iceland I think, the country not the shop).

Snap Twig.

But if they're not getting too much salt and doom in the rest of their diet I wouldn't worry too much about the salt and doom in humous (sorry, I just love that phrase) - it has good stuff in it too, after all.
And as you say, it gets vegetables in....
