What a great tutorial! Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this, Trail! The last time I made hummus, I was not pleased with the tahini/bean ratio. I’m not a fan of tahini, but I will give this a try. It gonna be difficult to omit the garlic!

@Feathers11 Fresh garlic doesn’t age well so that is part of it. The other is make your own tahini. The store brands are not the same. I make at least 1# of sesame seeds , it stores forever and is still perfect. I freeze my Hummus as well . This time I only made one can’s worth because I was low on garbanzos . It freezes beautifully for months. Use plenty of lemon and the zest. Truly it is incredible. Chef son is always impressed as is Chef DDIL. ( she’s not cheffing now) .

Home made hummus is so much better than pre-made store bought! I don't eat a ton of hummus but like to make it as a dip from time to time when I'm hosting. I'll have to try the trick of removing the skins. I usually remove any loose ones that are easy to grab, but I'll be more intentional next time. This is the recipe I typically use for hummus: https://www.loveandlemons.com/hummus-recipe/

I do feel like tahini brands vary widely in flavor. I haven't ever tried making home made tahini (or any other nut/seed butter for that matter.)

@pricklypearcactus her recipe is ok but never put garlic and always use the chilled Aqua Faba never water. Always whip the tahini first with ice cold lemon juice/ AF. A small amount of cumin and ground coriander really ups the flavor without overwhelming .

Make your tahini. i can repost tutorial if a search doesn’t come up. 🙏

I've made batches and batches of hummus with an array of extras added. Garlic--just the thing sometimes depends on what else is being served. Roasted red pepper-a delight. Love love love me some cumin--sometimes. It's a very versitile dip base. Tastes differ widely, I would not limit myself to anyone's idea of perfection.

A small hummus supplier--The Farm at Red Hill--sometimes appears at my Kroger--and it has all quality ingredients and no preservatives. Really good hummus. Organic too.

Perfection: Salad withleft over fried chicken and Hummus with WW pullman loaf. 😊🙏

Delicious!!!
Going to try your recipe, it sounds so good.

My hummus recipe is very quick and easy, some may not call it hummus at all 😁 I cook a can of chickpeas, purée when done, let cool, dip vegetable, bread, etc. enjoy!

@njmomma there are lots of recipes out there for bean puree dips. The Italian versions of Cannellini bean dip are amazing! Black bean as well.

Maybe we need to start an “ Off the Bean Dip” thread. 😂🙏

Yum!

When I was a teenager I worked in a small storefront Lebanese grocery store. The owner's wife made all the hummus on card tables in the back room. It was the food of the gods. This was before hummus was widely sold in supermarkets. Lemon, olive oil, garbanzo, and the best tahini. So simple. So good.

That is a great story @Kendrah. Less is more.

@hhireno very cute!

@Still trailing thank you for posting your hummus recipe. It looks and sounds delish. I've been wanting to make my own hummus for a while. I searched for your tahini recipe but couldnt find it. Would you mind posting a link to that thread? Many thanks.

I have your sunshine in a jar on repeat. Love that one!

@Honu3421 thank you. I is an easy process. A couple important points are 1) use fresh sesame seeds 2) do not over toast , keep them moving and very low heat they are bitter if browned. 3) cool them right away so rhey stop toasting. 4) notice in the photos the stages the seeds go through. It is important to keep going it takes 6-8 minutes at least.

please ask if you have any questions. And post your results. 🙏c

@Still trailing, this is excellent, thank you!

DH made us lunch. He put tigether what was availabe in the fridge. Hummus and my bread, almonds, cherry tomatoes, radishes , Smoked Salmon, his horseradish dip with my yogurt , lettuce . He is amazing. ❤️👍
