I've made some hummus and I'm not sure how much I can have for one of my snacks. I know the serving size for shop-bought hummus is 2 tbsp but I imagine that has more oil than mine does, so I was wondering if I'd be able to have a bit extra!
The whole recipe consists of 1 cup chickpeas, some dry roasted red peppers (I didn't measure these), 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 1/2 tbsp tahini.
Would it be ok to have a quarter of what I've made, or would that be too much? It's just that 2 tbsp is hardly anything! |

| with 1 cup chickpeas you figure that you have 2-3 servings so 1/4 of what you made would be more than fine... IMO |

| Thanks Nessa, I thought that was probably the case but wasn't sure about the oil. I shall go ahead and enjoy it (actually there's loads there, I may not manage a quarter of it!) |

Indigo,
Do you use a blender or food processor for this recipe? |

don't know what Indigo used, but I find it much easier to use a food processor. |

| I've made homemade hummus for years. I love the stuff! But I would strongly recommend using a food processor if you have one, unless you have a very high-quality blender. I've fried two blenders over the years making hummus! The things can crush ice, but for some reason hummus tends to get too goopy for them. |

| Another vote for food processor. I have made it for years but add garlic to mine. We love lots of garlic. :) |
