Hummus Recipe

hummus recipe
Hummus is an inexpensive, high-fiber and protein-packed food, yet only a few home chefs dabble in this dip. This Middle Eastern mixture of chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, and tahini has endless possibilities, so there's no reason for hummus humdrum.

    Awesome. Thanks for sharing your variations!

    15oz can = 1,5 cups of cooked beans. You can eyeball the liquid and adjust until you get the consistency you want.

    Great.
    I usually add some spices to my hummus:

    1 chickpeas can
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp kumin
    1/4 tsp coriander
    1 pinch chili
    1 pinch black pepper
    1 garlic clove
    10 ml lemon juice
    60 ml water
    1 tsp tahini oil
    few twigs of cilantro

    You can do same with red beans instead of chickpeas (but w/o tahini)

    If I’m using dry beans should I reserve 1/3 cup of the liquid I soak the beans in over night or 1/3 cup of the liquid that I boil the beans in. Or does it matter?

    Plain yogurt. It cuts calories too.
