Method

You may have to make this in 2 portions if you are using a small blender. This makes a lot of hummus but you are going to portion it out for the freezer so it will keep until you next need it.
-
Drain your cans of chickpeas, but keep the brine in a separate bowl.
-
Add your chickpeas and tahini paste to your blender.
-
Juice your two lemons and add the juice to the blender too.
-
Next add your ready chopped frozen garlic, cumin and salt.
-
Lastly add your ½ cup of brine and mix in the blender until you are happy with the consistency.
-
Ready for the Freezer
Simply portion it out into very small freezer bags or small tubs and freeze.
-
Ready to eat
Bring out and defrost, stir and your hummus is ready to eat. If it has been in the freezer for a while and is a little dry you can add a splash of water to it.
