how do you make YOUR hummus?:)

Happymom83

So I LOVE hummus! I usually just buy premade(from a local company at my growers market:bigsmile: ) But I'd like to start making my own...So Im wanting ideas!:flowerforyou:

I drop a can of black beans in the food processor with a tbsp of olive oil, some sea salt, and a bit of roasted garlic or onion. OMNOMNOMNOM.

I drain a can of chickpeas over a bowl then rinse the beans and toss them into the food processor with a bit of olive oil, some garlic, cumin, one of these: sriracha/roasted red pepper/jalapeno, a Tbsp or so of tahini, and a little liquid drained from the can to help reach the desired consistency. Just pulse it up and chill.

Edit: forgot cumin

1 can of chickpeas drained, 1 can of black beans drained, 4 huge cloves of garlic, juice of 1 lemon (or more!), 1 seeded jalapeno, cumin, salt, and pepper... I don't add any additional fat... if I need liquid for consistency I use more lemon juice or water... so good!!

I follow the same recipe, sans the jalapeno.

been meaning to try this recipe for sweet potato hummus

Cannellini beans, garlic sauteed in olive oil, and rosemary. Mash up and spread on toasted whole wheat pita points.

(I don't care for chickpeas at all.)

majope

1 can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained, juice of half a lemon, garlic (I use the paste that comes in tubes), 2 or more tablespoons of tahini, dash of cayenne, salt. Process until smooth, adding water until hummus is the consistency you want. I don't put olive oil in the hummus itself, but often drizzle it on top before serving.

Additions according to mood: black olives, roasted red pepper, jalapeno, fresh parsley.

Also like white bean spreads, black bean spreads, and now I think I need to dig up an old Moosewood recipe for a feta/walnut spread...

Chickpeas, tahini, loads of garlic, more cumin than it seems like you should need, coriander, lemon juice, olive oil. Destroy.

My recipes are on that thread.

I do the standard canned chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, salt, pepper, cumin... and I also add chipotle for a kick. Yummy!

Here's my basic recipe, put all in a food processor or blender including the reserved liquid from the can of beans. I also add whatever suits my mood, typically pimento stuffed olives...but the possibilities are endless.

1 15-ounce can garbanzos
(reserve 1/4 cup liquid)
1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and cut into thirds
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
salt to taste
Olive oil to drizzle
parsley for garnish
