Just Bento

I freeze it in iceblock trays. Lasts forever that way.

Hummus is nice as a dip for raw vegetables, or as a spread on flatbread (use it as a base, like mayonnaise or butter, then pile on shredded veg. or ham or whatever you like, and roll up).

Traditional hummus has tahini (ground sesame paste) in it. Also grated or roasted and pureed garlic is a delicious addition. Here's my standard hummus recipe.

I like hummus on a veggie sandwich, instead of the mayo. Or with raw vegetable like Maki said. But I also make my own whole grain pita chips, which are usually a hit at parties, to eat with hummus.

A while back I made some curry flavored hummus, with just the curry spices mixed in with minced and cooked garlic and onion. It was very good with some asparagus, bell pepper, and sprouts on a sandwich.

You can also use it instead of cheese to make vegan pizza. Not quite the same, but very tasty.

Hummus is a great sandwich ingredient, as mentioned. It can also be flavored with olives, roasted red peppers, chiles, spinach, or anything else that strikes your fancy. It's good in wraps. A scoop of it can be placed on a salad for extra protein.

Here's my olive hummus recipe!

Humus, rocket, and roasted pepper in a bagel is really delicious and easy to make.

These are so simple I'm kind of embarrassed to post them.

It's a shame that bagels (certainly good ones) are impossible to find in Spain, Alice's suggestion sounds delicious!

I have a huge fondness for bagels with grated raw carrot, hummus, toasted sesame seeds and fresh spinach leaves.

Yesterday I ended up with a big, still warm, flute of French bread (similar to a barra of Spanish bread) and spread it with hummus, some really good tomato slices &crunchy lettuce. My husband then grumbled that what he actually wanted was something 'meaty', so I quickly fried a Quorn 'beef' burger cut into pieces and added that too. It was REALLY good - I made one for myself too.

Later on I tried another combination (it was a hot day and I didn't feel like doing much cooking). I replicated the taste of a kebab by spreading the inside of a lightly toasted pitta bread pocket (beware the hot steam!) with hummus and adding tomatoes, some raw onion as well as shredded raw cabbage which I had mixed up thoroughly with a teeny bit of mayo and lots of grated/crushed garlic. Again the burgers (finely sliced) were used. It definitely hit the spot!

Just for interest, the singer from The Killers was interviewed on British TV on Friday and he said one of his favourite things was sandwiches made from (Sainsbury's) hummus and salt & vinegar crisps (potato chips). And I thought it was just bands who play in smaller venues who ate this way!

Mmmmmm all this talk about hummus.
I haven't had it in a while, now I want some lol :P

I was wandering...how long(if it's possible) cn hummus stay in room temp?
I'd like to try it in my Bento.

Hey now, you can get hummus in Hamamatsu, in Shizuoka Japan,
at Tirnan Og craft pub, KK House, and Slowporch in Hamakita.

They have many flavors to choose from. The local brand is called Satorijava Traders Hummus.
