Ok, one of my favourite recipes is this one here: Ingredients: 2 Tblsp freshly squeezed lemon juice Chickpeas 3 Tblsp olive oil 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp ground black pepper 1 tiny pinch cayenne 1/4 c. unroasted sesame tahini Hummus Instructions: Heat the chopped garlic in the olive oil until lightly roasted Add the cumin, cayenne, salt & pepper Stir the lemon juice into the hot oil Put everything except the tahini* in the blender. Using a low setting, alternately pulse and poke until smoothly blended Using a rubber spatula, scrape the mixture into a bowl, and thoroughly mix in the tahini Adjust seasonings to taste *I don't add the tahini to the blender because it's too thick & sticky & my blender doesn't like it. Oh and if you like spicey foods a really nice version is to add a chopped red chili and just mix it in at the end! Hope you like it!
No problems, I actually had it for my lunch today!! I have my friend hooked on it too and she's not a vegetarian but she really likes this recipe!!
There are a couple of good ones in 'how it all vegan'. If that helps You can also make some neat variations to the basic recipe. I've tried versions with sundried tomatoes (yum) and Lemon & corriander (has a serious kick to it)
The best hummous I've ever made and pretty much the only one I bother with at this time is as follows: A can of chick peas 1 ripe avacado 2-5 cloves minced garlic, depending on size and preference salt pepper if you like water to desired consistency Mix everything in a food processor or with a stick blender. You can even serve it to meatheads.
we made some hummus last night, based on all the recipes you all sent. it is DELICIOUS! thank you!! christine
Avacodo in Hummus? That sounds good! To add a little festive color to the appearence of the hummus, try mixing in a little bit of dried dillweed. (That has to be the funniest ingredient name that I can think of! ) Sometimes a little saltiness is wanted, not just in Hummus but in many things. To avoid the bad sodium that is in salt, I like to add Bragg's Liquid Aminos.
