Thread: Homemade Hummus

Been making my own hummus lately....easy and cheap to make and 10times better then anything store bought. Start with a can of garbanzos, add some tahini, some garlic, a bit of olive oil, and a dash of spice in the food processor and your good to go.

Ive since made the same recipe with feta cheese, olives, and sundried tomatoes and every combination thereof. Once again cheap and easy to make and much better the TJs premade stuff.

i add lemon to mine. of course, we add lemon to almost everything over here.

and yes, home made is teh yummiez

I use limes but lemons work too. Thanks for adding a forgotten ingredient.

I sprinkle a little E on top of mine, works wonders.

I concur with this thread.

Control how smooth/creamy you want it with the garbanzo bean juice/water. Blend/process it all, and sprinkle liberally with sumac.... Bake some pita to make it all crispy and delicious. Holy crap, is that some good stuff.

Is it lunch time yet?

gotta add freshly roasted garlic bulbs to it

mmmm nom nom nom

A good meal involving homemade hummus

Dinner Tonight: Hummus with Ground Lamb and Almonds | Serious Eats : Recipes

Add a scoop of home made Bruschetta on top of homer Hummus and a toasted Baguette slice and you have a ****ing party going on!

The smooth, alkaline texture of the Hummus and the chunky, acidity of the Bruschetta just cant be touched. Mixed with a good Marzen (Leinenkugel's Oktoberfest for me) and you're in heaven.

I don't know why I haven't tried making my own hummus.

But I should. I like TJ's kind, but it could be cheaper or have a larger quantity.
