How?s everyone coping with the hummus situation? Not only was regular hummus all out of stock in Sainsbury?s yesterday, now there?s news of a salmonella recall on a load of hummus products made for various supermarkets. (Although looks like only the snacking variety in Sainsbury?s). It?s often out of stock when I go. Is it under-stocked or has ED developed a massive collective hankering for chick pea and tahini deliciousness?

"Lidl, Aldi, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons issue urgent recall for hummus over 'deadly salmonella scare"

"The first recall covered expiration dates up to November 7th, but it's now been extended a further 10 years."


Looks bad - but Heart Radio went a bit overboard (I think they mean 10 days)

Co-Op has emerged unscathed, you can mark yourself ?safe? on Facebook and the like. I find their hummus a bit dense, what do you think of it?

It's this one:



https://www.cearaskitchen.com/fluffy-oil-free-hummus/


I use a can of chickpeas and just shove all the liquid (aquafaba) in. I don't measure it.


I use half the amount of chilli powder she does, and sometimes I add a quarter teaspoon of turmeric (for health not taste reasons).


I only use one clove of garlic, but obviously it depends on the size of the clove and the strength of the garlic.


I make it in a (tallish) measuring jug with my stick blender on a speed of 6 then turbo.


The first time I used my food processor, but with the stick blender there is less washing up :)


I've tried other hummus recipes and I really don't miss the oil when I make it this way.

This sounds good, thanks Sue. Small tip - our bodies find it difficult to absorb the circumin (healthy compound in turmeric) without black pepper, so I'd add some to any recipe that you make with it.

Strange that it's the second time I've heard of the black pepper this week (first was for golden milk)

Odd but true:

"For example, piperine, a known bioavailability enhancer, is the major active component of black pepper [16] and is associated with an increase of 2000% in the bioavailability of curcumin [17]. Therefore, the issue of poor bioavailability appears to be resolved by adding agents such as piperine that enhance bioavailability, thus creating a curcumin complex." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5664031/#B17-foods-06-00092

Even academic studies apparently tend to add something like piperine to help keep curcuminoids in the body longer and hence more available.

Yes you're absolutely right and I'd forgotten about that, trouble is I'm not sure black pepper would go well with the hummus!

Don't know, because usually I eat it all within a few days :)


But if it started looking a bit frothy and/or smelling a bit odd, I would bin it.


I imagine it lasts as long as shop-bought hummus does (assuming the shop-bought hummus doesn't have some kind of preservative in it, which I don't think it does).


ETA: I usually transfer it to a covered container in the fridge, eg an old takeaway container. I have loads of those because I freeze things in them :)

Vote Tory as we will be able to get excellent trade deals with the hummus producing nations rather than depend on the ebbs and flows of the European market - a shortage one month and a slurry lake the next.


I've heard that the clangers are dead keen to sign a deal over green soup and Noggin, King of the country of Nog, wanting to do similar over whatever they produce there.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.

    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
