Hi there, I ate hummus all through my first pregnancy 2 years ago as it wasn't on the "don't eat" list, not sure why within 2 years it has changed, but its the Tahini in it, i still eat it now as i didn't have any problems first time around so don't think why anything would have changed, but my mum experimented on making some without Tahini and its so yummy so here is her recipe!

400grm tin chickpeas
1tsp crushed chilli (can add more or less depending on your taste)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 clove of garlic
4 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice

Put everything except the oil and lemon in a bowl and whizz together.
Add lemon and oil

Try and it and adjust to taste.

I've been avoiding hummus, well i ate it once at the beginning of my pregnancy when i didn't know it was "bad", but i think i might just have some. I'm really craving it now. lol. I have no idea if i ate it during my last pregnancy.]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:48:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=807222&title=question-about-hummus#807222 <![CDATA[Question about hummus... : Me too!

Me too!

Must admit that I lived on Hummus last pregnancy before it was off the list so I chose to ignore it this time and continue eating it. But obviously each to their own.

And yep, it's because of a listeria scare in the tahini a year or so back.]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:17:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=807173&title=question-about-hummus#807173 <![CDATA[Question about hummus... : Dammit, now i want hummus!

•1 15 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans, drained (save liquid)
•1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
•1 tablespoon lemon juice
•1/2 cup plain yogurt
•1 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
In a food processor combine beans, yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice. Blend well. Add salt and cumin and blend to a smooth and creamy dip.

If you hummus is too thick, add a little bit of the liquid from the chickpeas - about a teaspoon at time. Other ways to thin out hummus is by using warm water or olive oil also. ]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:38:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=806911&title=question-about-hummus#806911 <![CDATA[Question about hummus... : There is a recipie out there which...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=806908&title=question-about-hummus#806908 Author: MuckyBucky

There is a recipie out there which uses yoghurt instead of tahini, and is quite yummy, added calcium without the risk? Suggest eating it straight away though.

There are loads of different flavours you can make at home, such as beetroot, aubigiene and pumpkin, which have a similar texture, adds a bit of variety and more veges to the diet.   Just use chickpeas as the base.

The tahini thing is (and correct me if I'm wrong here, but there was a thread about it a while ago), that the seeds are basically soaked when they're sitting for so long, and bacteria forms easily on things like that. Just like how sushi (regardless of whether its got meat in it or not) is a no-no because the rice harbours bacteria the same way.

Hope that helps (and btw I ate sushi and hummus while pg - I was rather relaxed this time around)]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:04:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=806463&title=question-about-hummus#806463 <![CDATA[Question about hummus... : It&#039;s easy to make your own...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=806300&title=question-about-hummus#806300 Author: crafty1

It's easy to make your own tahini. Just lightly roast the sesame seeds in a dry frypan, don't let them go brown. Then let them cool and process in the food processor with olive oil till you get the right consistency. It stores in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 3 months. And since you've made it yourself you know what food prep hygiene went into it.

I used to make it and then use it to make hummus and felafels but i can never get my hummus tasting that good so gave up after about a million tries. And got sick of my felafels falling apart so gave up the whole meal altogether but now strangely am getting a bit of a craving! ]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:52:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=806300&title=question-about-hummus#806300 <![CDATA[Question about hummus... : Hi, we had this discussion in...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=806044&title=question-about-hummus#806044 Author: Kathryn71

Hi, we had this discussion in our forum (due April 2010)... I bought it up cause I had no idea I wasnt supposed to be eating it and I was shocked and wondered why. I googled it and it did have something to do with the tahini and in the way in which is is prepared. You would think however that brands like Lisas would be safe! I agree now if you have it the day its opened then it will be fine, however, bit of a pain as I was having it daily on sandwiches to tart them up a bit! Not going to be buying a tub of it each blimmen day! Home made is great, if you have a food processor that is!]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:51:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=806044&title=question-about-hummus#806044 <![CDATA[Question about hummus... : If it looks dodgy (sp?) or not...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=805875&title=question-about-hummus#805875 Author: High9

I eat it if I buy it from a good maker (something like Lisa's) and only if its freshly opened.

 

PS. You can make hummus without using tahini, I've never made it with tahini and it tastes just as good

there was a listeria scare a few years ago with tahini, which is why its off the list now.

My MW said we're told to avoid most foods because theres so many different ways to prepare food, some people aren't as "safe" when they prepare foods, etc and also some foods don't have set standards for preparing them. It's a shame if you can't eat it...

Re the sushi thing above, MW said to me I could have it so long as it's just been freshly prepared and as long as it's only the vegeterian kind. ]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:04:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=805358&title=question-about-hummus#805358 <![CDATA[Question about hummus... : There&#039;s no way I&#039;d be...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29334&PID=805220&title=question-about-hummus#805220 Author: Pants

I ate it, but only when it was freshly opened. If it didnt all get eaten i wouldnt eat from it again and DH would finish it off over the next couple of days.

It is because of the tahini, something about the way its made.. l like not being able to eat sushi because of the rice....

Home made hummus is nicer anyway and way cheaper.

I don't see why tahini would be a problem as it is just sesame seeds and olive oil. I eat hummus all the time and have had no problems..

As with everything i just make sure it's freshly opened. Open it and eat the whole thing haha.

Personally i think they go way over the top with those food guidelines. Another thing for mothers to feel guilty about.

cuz being dairy/gluten intolerant myself, it's one of the few 'dips' I can have.

Exactly the reason I eat it - its hard to find anything tasty & with carbs to keep me going, but not too stodgy like most GF things.

I looked up the ingredients in tahini, it just seems to be sesame seeds so can't work out the problem there......I'll have a dig around and see if I can find that old thread- thanks
