Does anyone have any good hummus recipes they could share?

I read a good one tonight that included chocolate chips but I can't find it anywhere.

I read a good one tonight that included chocolate chips but I can't find it anywhere.

Oh! I think I found that one, it looked amazing and really versatile:

3/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick cook oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups Chocolate Chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

If you blend it all together in a food processor, it had the exact same texture as hummus. And soooo so good. I'll never go back.

I love hummus. Especially my mothers recipe

:laugh: @ chocolate chips...
Anyway I just don't get the whole "hummus" thing. I finally got around to trying it and when I read the nutrition label I wasn't too happy. 80 cals for 2TBSP 6 grams of fat and only 2 grams of protein???? For some reason I thought that there would be a LOT more protein in there! My M.I.L was sooo sweet to pick some up for me. I just happened to mention that I'd like to try some and POOF** there it was. LOL Could it just have been that particular brand and type? :indifferent:

Here is one for "Salmmus." It's like hummus only without the chick peas and with salmon but it's served with pitas, so "hummus."

Bumblebee - Pink Salmon In Water, Boneless Skinless, 2 container (4 oz draineds ea.)
Natural Raw Sliced Almonds - 0.5 tbsp
Lindsay - Imported Capers, 0.5 Tbsp.
Vigo - Sliced Calamata Olives, 1 Tbsp (12g)
President - *Fat Free Feta Cheese, 28 g (1oz)
Fage - Total 0% Yogurt - Nonfat, Plain, 0.19 cup
Flax Seed - Ground , 0.5 tablespoon
Spices - Oregano, dried, 1 tsp, leaves

I also have a great recipe for "ketchup" only it uses eggs and oil so it's white but it still goes on hamburgers, so "ketchup."

Pm me for my mothers recipe. I'm not allowed to share it on the forums, because hummus recipes are considered personal attacks.

I prefer to think of it as positive taste bud propaganda.

That sounds divine!

Sarcasm is strong in this one.

:grumble:

I'm pretty sure that in order for it to be called hummus, it needs to have some chickpeas in it.

:grumble:

ETA: we have some single-serve tubs of the premade stuff. I just thought it might taste better if we made our own.

I have tried a lot of different recipes. I've won a number of contests with this one:

Ingredients
1 cups dried chickpeas (the smallest you can find)
1/2 cup tahini
juice from 1 squeezed lemons
1-2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon + 1/8-1/4 teaspoon baking soda
salt
olive oil
parsley


(Directions)

1. Pour the chickpeas over a large plate. Go over them and look for damaged grains small stones, or any other thing you would rather leave out of the plate.

2. Wash the chickpeas several times, until the water is transparent. Soak them in clean water over night with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Then, wash it, and soak again in tap water for a few more hours. The grains should absorb most of the water and almost double their volume.

3. Wash the chickpeas well and put them in a large pot. Cover with water, add the rest baking soda and NO salt. Cook until the grains are very easily smashed when pressed between two fingers. It should take around 1-1.5 hours, during which it is advised to switch the water once again, and remove the peels and foam which float over the cooking water. When done, sieve the grains and keep the cooking water.

4. Put the chickpeas into a food processor and grind well. Leave it to chill a little while before you continue.

5. Add the tahini and the rest of the ingredients and go on with the food processor until you get the desired texture.



Texture is key - if it doesn't hold together, the sculpture melts and the judges disqualify you.

But this isn't paleo. They would have used it to paint on walls, not sculpture.
