Does anyone know how to make Hummous?

I'm so hooked honestly, that's all I need to eat. That and crunchy seaweed.
Lol
I hate meals.

hummus BUMP

i love that stuff,

hummus is a excellent dip

Walmart keeps it next to the peanut butter, which makes sense

We have all kinds of hummus, so I never make it:

I might have missed this somewhere, but adding a pinch of cumin is kind of nice, too.

Olive oil

I buy sesame seed, grind it in the food processor, mix with a little sour cream, fresh garlic and plain yogurht (sp?)

Amazon has it - just type in tahini on the searchbar.

Hummous is one of those dips that allows us to add things like chopped chives, cilantro, organic garlic is 10 times more flavourful than regular garlic. Can also add a pinch of sea salt, paprika, or cayenne, or cumin. It's a very flexible dish.

Hummous is always found in the middle eastern section of your supermarket & sometimes in the regular section with jams, peanut butter & other spreads.

Hope this helps. I'm a big hummous fan.

"This person" in FL buys it from the health food store.

Sometimes tahini is in the refrigerated cases next to the Kosher hotdogs & pickles. Tahini separates just like natural peanut butter and once mixed needs to be refrigerated so it won't separate again. The refrigerated stuff is already mixed. Another place to look is in the Kosher section of the International aisle.

you actually don't even need the peppers or garlic, though that improves it. just grind up the chickpeas and mix with olive oil and a little salt. That actually sounds like a pretty complete ingredient list to me.

I know this sounds too simple to be delicious but try this recipe for nacho dip, you won't be disappointed:

Equal parts sour cream & cream cheese. I go with 16 oz. servings

- 16 oz cream cheese
- 16 oz sour cream
- 1 packet taco seasoning (I use Ortega brand), you can use less seasoning than 1 packet if less flavoring is desired

Use a hand mixer or blender to whip the cream cheese & sour cream into the desired consistency while adding the taco seasoning during the mixing. Poor into low volume container with wide surface area. Top with shredded cheese (Monterrey style is good), other topping options: diced black olives, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced jalapenos, etc.

Refridgerate and serve chilled....

It's simple & tastes amazing.

My hummus is pretty sought after when I bring a batch in to work.

Here's my 'method':

2 - 19 oz cans Progresso Chickpeas – rinsed and drained
¾ jar (appx) of an 15-16 oz jar Tahini (Sesame seed butter)*
¼ cup (scant, add as you go if you need more) olive oil*
2 small bunches of scallions, chopped (reserve some green tops for garnish if desired)
1 large bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
1 large lemon*
1 Tsp. soy sauce (or more, to taste)
4 large garlic cloves, chopped coarsely
Black pepper, cayenne Pepper, salt (to taste)
Smoked paprika (garnish)
~ water – for thinning if needed/desired (I use up to a cup sometimes)

Put chopped garlic in food processor and process to finely chopped. Add chickpeas, tahini , green onions, and process to break down. Add olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice and pulse / process until smooth. If mixture is too think, don’t be afraid to add water. I end up using about ½ or so of water to get the consistency I like. Add seasonings and chopped cilantro and process until cilantro breaks down. Taste, and adjust seasonings as needed.

Garnish with remaining green tops of onions and/or drizzle with olive oil and dust generously with smoked paprika.

* I find when making hummus these are the three items I fiddle with the most trying to get a good balance:
-Tahini (adds the earthy flavor)
- lemon juice (lightens flavor)
- olive oil (enriches the flavor)

Well Natasha you learned how to make it without logging off GLP. This site can be useful at times:-) I hope it tastes good and I must remember the crushing the seed part as well. Make sure you get fresh seeds as well. Some stores have old ones.

If tahini is not available try adding roasted seaseme sead to the mix before blending. Its not perfect but certainly better than nothing.

Also, a dash of cumin on top before eating, mmmmmmmmmm.


Oh and more garlic. Lots more garlic.

If a recipe has more prepackaged shit in it then real food....back away. Use real ingredients (ie. not manufactured)

If food has nutritional information printed on it and it comes in plastic its bad mmmmmkay.

That the sperm of a man be putrefied by itself in a sealed cucurbit for forty days with the highest degree of putrefaction in a horse’s womb, or at least so long that it comes to life and moves itself, and stirs, which is easily observed. After this time, it will look somewhat like a man, but transparent, without a body. If, after this, it be fed wisely with the Arcanum of human blood, and be nourished for up to forty weeks, and be kept in the even heat of the horse’s womb, a living human child grows therefrom, with all its members like another child, which is born of a woman, but much smaller.

Oh wait, you said Hommus, not Homonculus...

Mr Wonderful has a 3-5 ingredient rule. Anything with a list as long as your arm and in print so small you can't read - you don't want. At least in his humble opinion.

Also, I don't know how one would be able to tell, but some of the plastic containers (such as sprouts come in or other fresh items) are made of corn. I wonder how you tell unless the company proudly boasts this on the packaging, which I've not noticed.

I put a package of powered ranch dressing mix in my hummus . Easy and tasty.

You've been getting a lot of bad advice. This is how to make the best humus:
Get a large can of pork and beans
put it in a blender with two cups of whiskey
add one cube of ice (flavoring)
4 whole elephant garlic bulbs
1/2 tsp of frozen lemon concentrate
5 cups of sugar and blend
Whala! humus the whole family can enjoy!

You can substitute peanut butter for tahini.

I just got some at Publix also whole paycheck (foods) has it

You could add some braggs amino acid

all health food stores and amazon ,they got it!

Those are really hard to keep on a seaweed cracker

BACON !
