Made this with a bag of frozen garbs about equal to 3 cans. Used 6 cloves garlic, 3 T olive oil, about a cup of water as they had been soaked but not cooked, double the amt of spices, and added 1 T worchestershire sauce, 1 tsp curry and one cup greek yogurt. Turned out very good and creamy. Want to try the other recipe with spinach – yum!

Good Evening! Wanting to make your recipe for my first attempt at hummus…2 questions:
1..how long will it last in the fridge? (providing we don’t eat it all in one sitting!)
2..can this be frozen? (hoping to take it up for a snow-cation)
thx! Mic

Hi Michelle,
1) The hummus should last 3-5 days in the fridge in an airtight covered container (ours never seems to last that long either since we do want to eat it all in one sitting 😉
2) Yes, this can be frozen in an airtight covered container (be sure to use a container large enough that you don’t have to pack it all the way to the top since this expands). Thaw overnight in the fridge – you can also heat it up if you like it warm. Be sure to give it a good stir before serving and you might have to add a little bit more seasoning since the freezer does change the taste a bit.
Hope that helps, thanks for stopping by!
