Hi Shaindel should be about 4 cups… I actually have never frozen hummus but found this guide online for “How to Freeze Hummus” for you: http://bit.ly/1cMRSxY
How much does this recipe make? Can I freeze the extra?
Thanks for the catch I actually think it is 2 tsp (to be honest I posted this a while ago…) it is 2 (15- ounce) cans of chickpeas + 8 cloves garlic + 1/4 cup tahini.
oh Mary!!! so happy you found us, enJOY!
2 tablespoons of cumin? Far too much I would think. Did you mean 2 teaspoons? that’s also a lot.
Thank you for the recipes. I will definately get my groceries soon and try them. I am into vegetarian cooking and this type of food is what
I love.
Thank you,
Mary

Jamie, this looks delicious! Do you slice or mince the garlic in any way before heating in the pan?
