Ok my bfff got me hooked on hummus. I bought some in wallyworld yesterday and darn near ate the whole tub last night.  So, are there any good recipes for homemade hummus? I know it is pureed cooked chick peas, but the kind I like is the tribe roasted garlic.

I just had to pat myself on the back last night. I made hummus and started with dried chick peas that were grown locally. I soaked them and boiled them and put together my recipe in the food processor. The total process took about 7 or 8 hours put most of it was soaking and boiling... no big deal. OH MY IS IT YUMMY!!! Just had to share!

I had no idea natural peanut butter could be substituted for tahini! Every time I go to buy it I just can't manage myself to buy it because of the price, but I have PB! I love the roasted red pepper hummus and I love falafels too. Making my own hummus has been on my list to do too because it can get so expensive otherwise.

If you don't want to invest in tahini, all-natural peanut butter works too. I got this tip from slate.com (just type in "hummus" in the search box). But I found that using the full half cup or whatever the recipe calls for is way too much. I've been using a heaping tablespoon of Smuckers natural pb with two cans of chickpeas, and it's delicious. |

Instead of canned, I bake up a bag of dry chickpeas and freeze them for making this.

Roasted red bell pepper is my favorite right now. I am hooked also. Thanks for the recipes. I have been wanting to make my own.

Thank you ladies for the recipes. Trip to the grocery store tomorrow to get what's needed to whip some of it up (usually just buy the ready made). Fresh will be so much nicer. |

I love Ina Garten's recipe from her first "Barefoot Contessa" cookbook. It is super simple to make, tastes best made the day before and is great for picnics.
Hummus
2 cups canned chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
1 teaspoon of kosher salt
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup tahini
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons reserved liquid from the chickpeas
8 dashes Tobacco sauce.
Please all the ingredients in the bow of a food process fitted with a steel blade & process until the hummus is coarsely pureed. Taste for seasoning & serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Oh my, now ya'll are speakin my language! I adore Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food! Baba Ganoush, Hummus, Falalfal, Tabouli, Lamb Kabobs with Tzatziki ...be still my heart! I enjoy both kinds of hummus,made with Tahini and also chickpeas.
Here is my favorite recipe, it is fast and easy!
Roasted Garlic Hummus
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
1 can chickpeas/garbanzo beans (15 oz.)
2 tablespoons roasted garlic
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Preparation:
In a food processor, process beans, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and oregano until desired consistency. If hummus is too thick, simply add olive oil in small increments (1/2 teaspoon) until desired consistency.
Serve roasted garlic hummus garnished with finely chopped parsley with hot pita bread, pita chips, or veggies. Roasted red pepper hummus goes very well with cubes of warm Italian bread.
Hummus can be prepared in advance up to two days if stored in airtight container in the refrigerator. To serve, heat in microwave or on stove top.

I think the secret to really good hummous is to add some Tahini (sesame seed paste) I t seems expensive but keeps practically forever in the fridge. And when the weather gets warm you can grill eggplant and uswe the tahini and garlic, lot of garlic, of course to make Baba Ghanoush Yummmmm

there is an article in the current Cook's Illustrated magazine about how to make very smooth hummus. Apparently, you need to heat the beans before throwing them in your processor. Has something to do with the crystallization of a starch. So, zap them for a minute in the microwave or heat them in a pot for a couple of minutes before making your recipe.

Try the Food Channel Network web-site or Paul Dean, or HGTV or DIY networks.com or TipNut.com
Just input How to Make Homemade Hummus and I'll be you'll come up with a lot of sites.
I too just love it. Got hooked on it from a friend. I can eat a whole container too. My son's daughter likes it too and will eat a whole container if given the chance. |
