Hit by the hummus crisis? Here's how to make it at home
Some of Britain's supermarkets have recalled hummus from their stores following 'production issues'. Today Sainsburys, M&S and Tesco stores have empty shelves following complaints of a 'fizzy' 'plastic' and 'metallic' taste from consumers.
The ubiquitous dip's absence from the supermarket shelf has caused crisis among consumers, who are despairing at its absence.
Britain is now considered the hummus capital of Europe and we spread, dip and dollop our way through 12,000 tonnes (ie. £60 million worth) of it a year.
If the thought of a day without the creamy, garlicky dip is too much to handle, fear not. The secret to hummus' success is its simplicity: it's a cinch to make yourself, and extremely cost effective. Here are our top recipes to help you through the turmoil.
