I wouldn't think so. It's my understanding that the stuff lasts roughly

forever.

Hi Sarah. I have a Black and Decker food processor, and it's fine, but I've had others that were easier to get used to and it cost around $40.00, I think. Most any processor will do the job, though. My ice cream maker is Cuisinart and I got it on Amazon for $50.00 and I love it. I also have a Cuisinart immersion blender, but I just got it for my birthday and haven't used it yet. They come in handy many times when something needs to be blended, but doesn't require a food processor or a blender. I have a blender, too which gets used every single day for my breakfast smoothie.Patricia--- On Sun, 3/7/10, Sarah Tomecek <sarah.tomecek wrote:Sarah

Soooo I'm obsessed with hummus and ice cream (not together just in general) I have an inkling that if I were to make these from scratch rather than buying soy ice cream (which is EXPENSIVE) and hummus every week I'd be saving a lot of money. I need pretty new supplies to do this though. Any suggestions on what shiny appliances I should rush to the store for? I'm looking for ice cream makers and food processors, which are reasonably priced and good quality. Can anybody think of

any?

I bought a Morphy Richards mini chopper this weekend. I used it to make hummous and was very impressed with the texture I was able to produce with it (just like store bought hummous, which I've struggled to achieve with other food processors, which tend to make it coarser). It's just the right size to make about 2 cups of hummous and is very easy to clean by running it under the tap. (I think it's dishwasher safe too but would need to check that). Despite being called a mini chopper it's a larger capacity chopper than the other small choppers out there, I think the jug part has a 650ml capacity whilst the others are about 500ml. Nice and quiet and very easy to use - you just press the top to start it and when you let go it immediately stops. Best of all it was very cheap - less than £20 in Argos. (I think it was £12.99? Not sure exactly as DH got it for me).

Opalline,

Please could you give me the recipe for hummous that you use? I love the stuff, but have never found a home-made version that resembled the shop-bought product. This is the only food that I prefer shop-bought, but it seems ridiculous, as it's such a simple combination of ingredients.

Many thanks,

Hi Kathleen,

 

Of course. I prefer shop bought hoummous too

 

The recipe I use is from the 21 day vegan kickstart program I've been following

recently, and all their recipes are super healthy, so it's one that doesn't use

any oil.

 

1 can garbanzo beans (chick peas), drained

2 tablespoons tahini

1/4 cup lemon juice

3 green onions (spring onions), chopped

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup roasted red peppers (optional)

Put beans, tahini, lemon juice, green onions, garlic, cumin, black pepper, and

roasted peppers, if using, in food processor and process until smooth. Add a

little water if needed, for a smoother consistency. (I didn't need to do this

and I also didn't use the red peppers).

 

IMO this recipe still needs some tweaking to taste just like the shop bought

kind... when I did it in the Morphy Richards processor I mentioned before, the

TEXTURE was perfect and just like shop bought hoummous, but the taste isn't

quite spot on yet. It's one of the closest approximations I've come across, but

not exactly the same. Next time I try it I plan to use a little olive oil,

slightly more garlic, less tahini and some extra salt. I'm also thinking of

adding a little vinegar or slightly more lemon juice as sometimes shop bought

hoummous has a slight acidic taste that isn't there in a lot of the home made

kinds.

We have to be careful in the UK as many of the shop-bought hummous contain dairy

products.

I haven't seen any hummous that has dairy in it (can be yogurt) from own label-supermarket brands. The only time we came across it was in a cafe in Scotland, and the waitress was really good as we asked for hummous and she pointed out it contaned yogurt!!

Same here, in Mississippi, Sue.  I was wondering where the original poster was.  I love figs but can only get them for a brief couple of weeks in the summer, if I'm lucky enough to be in the farmers' market at the right time or close to someone who has a tree.  (My fig tree is only about 3 feet tall and the couple of figs it produces each year are quickly eaten by the birds.)
