Hummus
Anyone make their own hummus and whats your best recipe?
|
We just buy Sabra (sp) at the store. Just love it with a glass of wine.
|
I don't have measurements but my husband makes amazing Hummus. He uses:
Garbanzo beans Fresh squeezed lemon Tahini Fresh garlic Olive oil Sea salt to taste. He said he also sometimes uses white beans instead if you want a high fiber one. |
Just amended my shopping list. Need pita bread too
|
I just made some on Monday, I use this recipe www.inspiredtaste.net › easy-and-smooth-hummus-recipe
I don't use the full amount of lemon juice and I add a little more spices. I like mine with a kick. |

I have been looking for a good recipe for hummus for quite a while. Thanks for posting this one. I have several good Middle Eastern restaurants close to me and they sell hummus for a very reasonable cost. Each one of them makes the hummus a little bit different so I get a variety all the time, but I still want a good recipe that I can count on.
|
We've bought store bought but homemade really tastes better. And hummus is healthy!
|
I don't have an exact recipe for you, but I do have a tip. I use sesame oil, instead of tahini. It still imparts that toasty flavor and personally, I have a lot more uses for the oil. Tahini just sits in my fridge, taking up door shelf space, plus it's more expensive.
|
Thanks Tropit, for the sesame oil tip. Just checked my jar of Tahini - sell by date of 2017. Might be time to get rid of it. Next time I will try the oil.
|
I have used a little of each and it gives it a nice mellowness. I like to make it myself since I can customize it to what I want at the time for spiciness. There are times I use lime instead of lemon and add sriracha or garlic chili paste.
|
Thanks for all your input. I really like hummus and find that if i make it myself it is cheaper than sabra, which by the way I like.
