EGAD!! No wonder I like the stuff so much! LOL!

 

Maybe I'll experiment with just beans, garlic and lemon juice.

I have used those mixes...they are pretty good..however, I always love to add my

little bit of good olive oil..I add 3tbs to the mix...and I let the mix sit for

awhile..maybe a few hours...in the fridge...it helps it taste better...I also on

occasion add some chopped sun dried tomatoes..or sweet roasted bell pepper (from

a jar packed in oil)...just to jazz it up a little..the mi is a wonderful base

if you are in a hurry or just don't wanna make it by hand...you can add some

olives...even more lemon juice and dill...extra garlic....there are several ways

to do it...but when all else fails, plain (with the olive oil) and fresh ground

black peppercorns will do just fine.

Hope this helps...

Namaste,

Hummus

 

 

Hi all, I have a question that I'm hoping someone can answer. I

bought a Dry Mix of Hummus from the store the other day and I have no

idea (other than water) what to add to it, to make it a dip. I

believe it has everything in it, Chickpeas, sesame paste etc...

Thanks

Dez

This isn't hummus, but a wonderful variation and you can control the spices.

I never measure... sorry... just get the texture you want, as a dip or a

spread, with the following ingredients thrown into a food processor:

 

cooked garbanzo beans (or black beans, or canellini, or...)

soy mayonnaise (Nayonaisse is the *best*)

salt (if you're not using canned beans)

pepper

cumin

curry

garlic

onions

 

My kids love this!

We love the recipe from the Moosewood Cookbook. Adjust the garlic, lemon and

tahini to your taste. We add parsley as well.

Good luck!

Peace,

No recipes here but when I'm in a hurry or on the road/camping, I like the

Fantastic Foods hummus mix that comes in a box. Just mix it with olive oil &

water- yum!

I love the recipe in Debra Wasserman's Lowfat Vegetarian book, and I'm

not saying that just because this is a VRG list! <grin> I'll post it

later when I don't have a babe suckling on my lap ...

Whoa, if you are making it yourself, you control how much goes into

it. Why not just cut the amount of spices in the recipe you have?

Personally, I tend to double and triple any amount of spices in any

North American recipe, sight unseen, but that's just me 8-).

 

BTW, neither of my kids will touch hummus, of any kind, and we have

both nut-free school and nut-free daycare. I go with whole wheat bread

and trust the organic honey will not cause any long-term damage ...

I like adding grapefruit instead of lemon. pink grapefruit is terrific! taste

the garbanzos, too, before using them. some of the canned are very salty.

soaking them in cold water for about 30 minutes helps -pat

[Guest guest]

YES YES i agree....homemade hummus is so much better! ...and the

options (as indicated) are vast. Mix in some cumin or curry

powder....or afterwards fold in some cilantro or chipotles. Serve it

with everything. Thanks for the recipe Sherri, I added it to our files.

hummus freezes well too. i make a huge batch and

freeze in several small containers. my favorite

add-ins are cumin, lots of cayenne, and cilantro. i

love sandwiches and wraps made with hummus, avocado

and lots of fresh veggies.

Yum! I love hummus.

Coincidentally this is also the topic of discussion

over on the 2 board, too.

My local store that has a bulk bin natural foods

section also carries the hummus powder mix in bulk.

It is very convenient for my son to mix up fresh fast

hummus dip for after school. I like adding hot sauce

and a blop of salsa in mine.

Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Thanks Pat - I will check the files, as I've never made my own hummus.

I get it at the local hf store and have tried sun dried tomato, black

olive, and plain (I like plain the best The hummus that's sold at

the grocery store has alot of added preservative ingredients and doesn't

taste as good as the simple hf store version.

Best,

I seem to remember that there are at least three different versions in the Files

-

but they could be called Chick Pea Dip too. . . . Or spread . . . I shoulda

looked

but now I'm in a rush :=( You want one that uses a good amount of tahini as

well as garlic and chickpeas - and of course olive oil and lemon juice and

cummin and . . . .

 

I think the homemade is nicer cuz then you can adjust the ingredients to be

exactly as you prefer. It freezes well, as you know.

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)

I like to use a can of garbanzo a can of northern beans together. The northern

beans make it creamy and everyone at work thinks it's got sour cream in it..LOL

Yes, red pepper make it a lovely color too, I agree Mel. I have to toss my

cilantro in there. After all I pay a dime a bunch and I don't want it to sit

around and get spoiled.....hehehehehe Donna

I have been making hummus using chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic and cilantro. 

It's good, but I need to experiment and use added ingredients.  Sadly, where I

live my grocery store wouldn't even carry something as exotic as chickpeas.  I

go in with my husband to work one day a week so I can run errands and shop. 

This is where the Healthy Life Market is and a super Kroger with a very large

organic/health food section.

 

The other night I basically copied a sandwich I got at a vegetarian restaurant:

 

Whole wheat bread slices (I got some at Panera)

Hummus

Cheese of your choice (I think the restaurant used cheddar and jack)

Avocado slices or chunks

Tomato (I use a large beef steak one from the garden)

Grill on a panani grill

 

Today we were going to make a pizza like this same restaurant does.  My husband

is very good with pizzas - makes his own crusts.  We experiment a lot with

pizzas.

 

So, we were going to first use barbecue sauce on the crust (And, I have to check

the ingredients of the barbecue sauce to make sure it's okay for vegetarian -

I'm less than three months into this.), roasted red peppers, a couple of

different cheeses, pineapple chunks and purple onion.

 

I eat cheese and dairy, but no eggs.  I have noticed recipes with eggs on here. 

I saw some egg substitute at the Healthy Life Market, but haven't tried it yet.

Hummus

 

*Usually a real 'hit' with kids!

 

2 cans (16 ounces each) reduced-sodium garbanzos, rinsed and drained

except for 1/4 cup liquid

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper (optional)

1/4 teaspoon paprika

3 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)

2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley

 

In a blender or food processor, add the garbanzos. Process to puree.

Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, paprika, tahini

and parsley. Blend well. Add the reserved liquid, 1 tablespoon at a

time until the mixture has the consistency of a thick spread. Serve

immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

 

Makes: 3 cups

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Alice. I've also noted that some people add peanut butter

instead of tahini. One advantage of tahini (sesame seeds) is the high

calcium content, but of course it's possible to get that from other

sources.

 

I've made hummus without tahini before too --- because I forgot to add

the ingredient! No one really knew the difference except me. I

couldn't figure out why the depth of flavor was gone until I retraced

my process. And yes, I usually leave out the olive oil. I don't

think it's a necessary ingredient. (For parents feeding children who

need the calories though, be sure to include it!).
