Making Hummus at home, with all Raw ingredients, and least mess

khd75

My wife checked a hummus sample in Costco, and decided that its better than mine! And the price is just right in contracts of the mess I leave in the kitchen.
I took the challenge and here is my modified hummus recipe:

Step 1: Soak chickpeas for the night in salt water
Step 2: boil them until soft
Step 3: Grind 1 cup sesame seeds with 1 tsp of Cumin seeds, 3/4 garlic cloves, 1 lemon squeezed, 1 tsp of Himalayan salt and 2 Tbsp of olive oil (I added 2 tsp of Tikka masala too)
Step 4: Start adding 3 cups chickpeas slowly in the mixture. Add a little water if it thickens.
Optional Step: You can add any baked veggie to change the flavor. eg, 1 cup of carrots, beets, butter squash etc etc.

Tada... Hummus is ready with least effort and mess in the kitchen.
Wife accepts, mine is better!
My kids accept, its tastes good, and can replace store bought spreads.

Changing our kitchen table... one replacement at a time

The recipe my family has always liked:
2 cups or 14 oz can (drained) cooked chickpeas
4 T tahini
1/4 c olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 T lemon juice
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Put everything in a food processor and blend until desired consistancy.

I think if I made it today I would try reducing the olive oil to 1-2 T or leaving it out.

How do you keep vegetables raw through cooking and baking?

How long does this keep in the fridge?

How is boiling chickpeas raw!?!?!?

Hummus is made with Raw ingredients. Eg, No Canned chickpeas is used, No Tahini. Yes, you process those raw ingredients to morph into Hummus.

Man, are you ever right about hummus being messy. Makes my kitchen looks like a crime scene afterward.

I don't understand how cooked chickpeas are raw. Or baked vegetables. Unless you're saying they started out raw. Which the same could be said about a roast dinner.

I've made tahini before... it actually is a raw food, unless you toast the sesame seeds...

Hi Guys, I just started counting macros 11 days ago and today is my first challange to make hummus for multiple portions for multiple days. I could really use your help to count the macrros the right way, without getting too much into mathematics

Are there any easy tricks or even online calculator? Thank you all!

To solve the preservation/refrigeration problem I pour the hummus in to sandwich size zip locks, score the dip on the outside with a chopstick or a butter knife in to single serving squares, and freeze the bag on a cookie tray. The bag stays in the fridge. I snap off a piece to put in a snack container for work, and it is defrosted by break time.
