What do you do with houmous?

[sparkledpixie]

I made a huge vat of this yesterday and have been munching away with carrots (always handy to get in 1/3 superfree!) but wondered if there is anything else I can do with it? I like it spread on toast for breakfast too

Put it in the bin?

Lol I personally can't stand the stuff, I know my dad uses it in sandwiches though?

Bleurgh! X

LOL @ put it in the bin! How verreh dare you humpf!

Needless to say I LOVE hummus. It's great on toast, to dip veggies in and in a pitta bread. I also make a veggie hummus pie. Roast a whole bunch of veggies (potatoes, courgettes, peppers, beetroot are some of my faves) top with hummus, sprinkle with cheese and bake for 30 mins. Delicious and very filling. You can also add it to mashed potatoes to make it more interesting. Or INSTEAD of mashed potatoes for extra fibre, it's very yum with lamb chops!

I use it as a sauce with most things as I find it so yummy.
My other half has it on top of a jacket potato.
For picnics, I smother it over skinless chicken drumsticks to give them extra flavour.

Get a wrap or pitta bread

splodge of hummus
grated carrot
dash of sweet chilli sauce
few mint leaves if you have them

far more interesting than a cheese roll!

I'm on a red day and now I want hummus.....

Took the words right out of my mouth! People ask me what I don't like about it - ermmmm, the taste AND the texture. :jelous:

I like it on a wrap with some salad, a few pine nuts and some honey mustard dressing, yum!

As a sauce? Now that IS interesting.... might have to give that one a go.

Just realised that when I try to type out 'hummus' it is coming out as homous!

Predictive text and recipes like it to be spelt houmous ... can spell it either way though.

I *always* used to spell it houmous... then Tesco etc insisted they sold no such thing, so I had to start looking for 'hummus' instead... :sigh:

 

[Katesands8]

I've always spelt it "houmous" too Ermintrude
