mmm... HUMMUS!

* 1 can (2-2.5 cups) cooked chick peas
* 1 cup cooked red kidney beans
* 1 large clove garlic
* 1 cup fresh, chopped basil
* juice from 2 lemons, 2 limes
* 1 tblsp cumin seeds
* 1 tblsp tahini (peanut butter can be substituted)
Puree all but the basil and cumin seeds in a food processor and puree until it's a smooth texture, add more lemon juice if necessary. Pour into a bowl and mix in basil and cumin. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

i don't think i've ever had hummus with red kidney beans in it......is this good?

Hummos:

NO kidney beans
NO basil
and most definately NO peanut butter!

Sorry...had to.

Hummos in Arabic means chickpeas. The only green that should be there is parsley and then only on top. You also need about 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt depending on your taste. The tahini should be at least 1/4 cup.

I love Hummus and this doesn't sound like the one I eat but it sure sounds like something I am going to have to try. traditional or not sounds good.

yeah....I like the traditional hummus and probably will continue to eat my traditional hummus....

Traditional hummus + corn tortilla = <3

If you make the traditional hummus recipe in a food processor, two really good add-ins are sun-dried tomatos or roasted red peppers. Not both in the same recipe though. Oh, roasted garlic is good, too!!

i have always wanted a button that says HUMMOUS FOR THE HIPPIES i dunno, i just thought it had a nice ring to it and I LOVE HUMOUS and still am not sure how to say it/spell it.


=)

coriander hummus is one of my favourite foods. Fan-flippuin-tastic (even if it is not at all traditional )

I realise that traditionally hummus isn't made with these things... but tahini isn't exactly the easiest thing to find in every grocery store, so peanut butter works as a good substitute.

And it's to each their own. Kidney beans are a yummy change to chick peas, and work just as well. For those of us (like myself) who loves using herbs in everything, adding a little extra flavour to hummus using them doesn't hurt.
