SO HOW'D IT GO?
My hummus came out tasty, but I had to veer pretty far away from the recipe. I used only 1 1/2 tsp, not Tbsp, cumin, and kept everything else the same, but it was so dry and chunky. Was I not supposed to drain the can of chickpeas first? I ended up adding lemon juice and olive oil until I had about 4 Tbsp of each, and then it was much closer to the creamy (but still thick) texture of hummus that I'm used to. It's delicious, but not nearly as healthy as I thought it would be!
I absolutely love this recipe.
Good recipe for basic hummus. I finally bought myself a food processor. I have been meaning to by one for the last ten years, but somehow never did. Hummus making at it's easiest. I added the juice of a whole lemon, because I like mine lemony.
This is the perfect hummus recipe. I added jalapenos for a little burn, which tastes awesome with blue corn chips.
I also added some carrot pulp 1 TBSP. Taste good in it.
Turned out wonderful !!!!! Taste was yummy
instead of salt, try shoyu
i do it mostly for the color, but i think it tastes better, too
I think chickpeas are my favorite legume,l so I am always looking for new ways to prepare them. I tried this and had to make some changes. First, I used 2 cans of beans, the proportion of cumin and garlic seemed to suit this amount better. I increased the tahini to 3+ Tblspns. I also increased the lemon (or lime) juice to 1 Tblspn. Salt to taste. Also, added pinch of cayenne pepper. Home baked, crispy pita chips (Ezekial brand) and yummo! :D
