NTR: Hummus Recipe

Tell me your hummus recipe please.  I made it for the first time the other day, and it turned out fine, but I'm curious to know a few variations so I can try out something new.  (I'm trying to get rid of my ranch dip habit so this is a good alternative)

Re: NTR: Hummus Recipe

  • 4 cloves garlic - peeled
    2 cups drained chickpeas - save some of the liquid
    1 1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/3 cup tahini
    6 tablespoons lemon juice - about 2 lemons
    2 tablespoons chickpea juice
    8ish dashes hot sauce

    Blend until smooth! :) It keeps fresh for quite a while in the fridge. In all honesty I usually add more garlic and more lemon juice but try it this way first and go from there.  I have had nothing but rave reviews whenever I make it and it's so simple.

  • 2 cans drained chick peas

    4-6 cloves of garlic (depending on how you like it)

    1 tsp cumin

    1 tsp paprika

    juice of 2 lemons

    salt, pepper to taste

     

    Add all ingredients in a food processor.  Drizzle olive oil into mix until smooth and creamy.  

    You can add roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatos, kalamata olives, green onions, shallots,  or even dill!  I'm off to make some right now!

  • I use the same basic recipes that pp use, but sometimes I will add a roasted red pepper, sun dried tomatoes or I will roast the garlic first.  I love hummus and make it quite often. I guess I actually love many chick pea dishes, like falafel and roasted chick peas, yum!

  • i like adding a bit of plain (yogurt) to mine and reduce the oil.  i just prefer the texture.  so, its a can of chickpeas, tahini (around 2 T), a lemon and the a few spoonfuls of yogurt and a drizzle of olive oil.  oh, and garlic.

    cumin and paprika, of course...i also love fresh parsley.

  • I have a couple different recipes in my blog (link in sig).  I especially love the one with black beans!  And yes, my blog is super incredibly ignored.
