Hummus

I just want to say that I have started to spread 1 tablespoon of hummus (half a serving) on my sandwich and LOVE it! The red pepper is my favorite.

What do you use hummus for?

grilled vegetable dip and pita chip dip and instead of ranch for raw veggies...my husband makes it from scratch so I never know what flavor he is going to make! Taziki is good too!

My FAVORITE is 2 slices pumpernickel bread with 2 tbsp. hummus, 1 slice swis cheese, and a big pile of alfalfa sprouts. YUM!

How do you make hummus? I'd love to make my own!

I make a variation on this one. I use my own fresh minced garlic and I don't add the olive oil. SO easy I made a triple batch the other day, jarred it up & sent it home with friends!

Thanks, I am so going to try this! I'm so excited! Do you know how many calories it is? Did you put it in the database here without the olive oil! Seriously, I think I'm gonna make this tonight!

Wait, where in the grocery store will I find chic peas?

3babybeans

I've never put it in a calculator b/c if graded, I would get an "F" for calorie counting. I really suck at it. :blushing: I should do that at some point just for my general knowledge.

Chick peas are AKA garbanzo beans (just in case you didn't know that). I get organic ones that I find near beans, rice, legumes, etc... I think if you look near baked beans, kidney beans, etc...you should be able to find them there.

Sorry, that really wasn't much help was it?! :blushing:

No, it totally was! I know exactly where to look. We have an international aisle. I'm going there as soon as I get out of the gym after work.

And if you use this website : http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php

you can put in the recipe and it will calculate the calories! So cool, so I think I'll do that!

I love love love me some hummus!

I also make a variation with white beans.. nummy.

Sara...do you remember when I got my food processor??? I made 15 different types of hummus. Had to stop for a while:sick:

:laugh:

I make homemade pita chips. I spray the pita bread with olive oil, just a little, whilst heating up my george forman (or any skillet will do) and make it extra crispy!

I have to be sure to measure my portion of hummus as I have been known to eat 8 oz in a sitting!!

I think I was just getting into the boards then, but I do remember. Did you have too much hummus? Blasphemy! :laugh:

Where do you find tehini in the grocery store? I've seen a LOT of recipes call for that, but I've never seen it...although, I have never actively pursued it, either. :bigsmile:

ohthatbambi

Never thought about it as a sandwich spread. I will be trying that tomorrow! I make roasted red pepper and usually eat it with pita chips

Girl, I don't even think the grocery stores around here HAVE a Kosher section. Could be my problem. :huh:

bootsnspurs4horses

I like to eat half a can of chickpeas for lunch. Sprinkled with a dash of garlic salt.

All variations of hummus are good. . good. ..good. Has to be good for me, right ???

I found another recipe made with yogurt in place of the tahini. I don't like the number of calories the calorie count website gave me for it though. :frown: But the serving sizes for the one with yogurt are quite bigger than for the one given on here. I didn't make it last night, and I'm not sure yet which recipe I'm going to try. Still shopping around.

I do however have the store bought hummus on my sandwich again! Can't wait for lunch!

well it is middle eastern so just run done to the Kosher deli and pick up a can!

Seriously I have read that plain yogurt can be substituted. Tahini is ground sesame seeds from what I read on the can. I am not into make anything like that, but did see recipes to make tahini too!

Super Healthy Hummus Recipe #90086
Taken off a website, don't have the reference. An excellent hummus, the only one I make anymore. You really need a blender or food processor to get the consistency right. 1/4 cup = 1 point ww.
by Kasha
10 min | 10 min prep

SERVES 6

3 garlic cloves, minced, more if you like
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Combine everything in blender or food processor and process until smooth.
The blender gives the best result.
If you need more liquid to make a nice consistency, add a bit more yogurt.
Chill.
Serve with pitas or as a veggie dip.

I think I'm going to add some roasted red bell peppers and maybe use a tad less yogurt and lemon to make it less sour.

No problem! I'm excited b/c my sister is staying with me tomorrow, and she likes hummus. Usually, we buy a bag or two of Sunchips and sit and watch movies and eat both bags. This time, I told her I was making hummus, and we were going to eat it with pita chips and carrots!

3babybeans

Oh, I'm so glad that your sister is able to stay with you this weekend to keep you company!

That hummus recipe looks delicious!

AWTY - Kosher deli? Hmmm...I live in NW Ohio. I don't think I've ever seen anything but SALT labled Kosher. LOL I now have a new mission. Find Kosher food at the local super market. :bigsmile:

1Corinthians13

Aw, thank you. As long as the weather doesn't get bad. It's not supposed to be too bad, but my sister is scared to drive in anything worse than a steady rain, and it's a 90 minute drive to my house.

We have Kosher aisles. Not every grocery store though. But when I lived on Long Island...there were entire Kosher stores.

I eat hummus with baby carrots sliced green peppers.

I've found tahini at the organic grocery store in the same area as peanut butter and almond butter. Perhaps it'll be in the organic section at a regular grocery store.
