Improving the Flavor of Hummus

RE: Improving the Flavor of Hummus By michawnpita (458) Profile Contact Hummus from the store always has a blander taste. Add some cumin, yum! Add some roasted garlic chopped up Blend in some cilantro and a jalapeno for a spicy zing!

That's the problem.

Roasted red peppers are my favorite. Keep in mind that any you buy in a store will have some sort of unnatural preservative.

Posted on 09/06/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Improving the Flavor of Hummus By AthomewithMama (Guest Post) Try RAW hummus... made with cashews instead of chickpeas. Basically it's the same ingredients but instead use raw soaked cashews and blend them up (slowly unless you have a heavy duty blender)with the tahini, lemon juice, some olive oil, s&p, garlic, spices plus anything you want like sun-dried tomatoes. This is a much richer version of hummus but it tastes better and is easier on the stomach. Garbonzoes make me feel bloated Posted on 09/06/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Improving the Flavor of Hummus By Overyonder (Guest Post) Here's a recipe for hummus. You could just leave out the chickpeas and tahini sauce and add your canned hummus instead. Ramadan Hummus 1 medium onion 2-3 cloves garlic 2 cans chickpeas, drained 1/3 cup tahini, sauce 2 tablespoons light soy sauce 1/3 cup lemon juice 1/2-1 cup olive oil 2 teaspoons cumin (to taste) 1. In a food processor: Chop garlic and onion. 2. Add all the remaining ingredients and process until smooth Start adding the oil with about 1/2 cup, until you reach your consistency. 3. Spread on a platter and chill at least 1 hour. To serve, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika. * Warm pita crisps is the best spoon! http://www.dinacantina.com/details.php?IID=5&CID=1 Posted on 09/05/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Improving the Flavor of Hummus By HeavenlyMayday (18) Contact I've always liked store bought hummus just fine (home made is better of course)so not sure what you need to know. What is it specifically that you are not liking about it? Are you wanting a way to doctor store bought up to taste fresher? (if so try some lemon juice or maybe some chopped parsley?) Or are you just not liking it in general and want it to taste entirely different? From what I remember hummus consists of chickpeas (garbanzo's to some), lemon juice, olive oil, tahini (sesame seed paste) garlic and cumin- and maybe some salt to taste if it needs it. If one of those is a taste that you aren't liking you could find a recipe and adjust to your taste. Posted on 09/05/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Improving the Flavor of Hummus By vbart (7) Contact I, too, make my own hummus, cooking the garbanzo beans in a crock pot, using prepared tahini, or, grinding my own sesame seeds. I add garlic, olive oil, good sea salt, and, fresh lemon...rave reviews from my friends. It really is quite easy. vbquotes@yahoo.com Posted on 09/05/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Improving the Flavor of Hummus By Deeli (1578) Profile Contact Definitely homemade and it's quick and easy to make !!!

Can add any sort of vegie to it, like artichokes, jalepenos, spinach...anaything you like. Sometimes a bit of lemon juice and or grated rind will perk up the flavor.
