I came up with this recipe when my friend really wanted hummus as a side dish but I'd already planned a Japanese main course. To be honest, we were worried about the outcome, but it ended up being very good.

It was really refreshing, especially with the ginger and rice vinegar notes coming through.

With the price of hummus in the store, I decided to make some from scratch. Delish! I added a few finishing touches to some store bought tortillas to make the perfect snack at home.

This hummus has some sweet heat. Roasting the peppers before pureeing them give them a nice caramelization, and the habanero gives it some kick. Use as much of the habanero as you like; I used two-thirds of one in this recipe.

I was just going to say "yum", and start listing ingredients. But, I guess I could add that hummus is not some mystical, overpriced dish you can only get at fancy restaurants.

I had some of the best hummus at a restaurant that isn't sharing its recipe. It was very rich. Got any suggestions?

It probably had a lot of olive oil in it and maybe some pureed eggplant in addition to the standard ingredients of garbanzo beans, garlic and lemon juice.

Basic hummus recipes are easily found with a Goggle search or if you live near a Trader Joe's they sell lots of different kinds of hummus and you can check the ingredients on the label if you find a variety you like and want to copy it.

Good luck!

This hummus was almost white.
I'm guessing that eliminates the eggplant.

If I hadn't discovered it after I'd tried the *whole* buffet, I would have had a lot more of it!

Hummus is pretty simple and richness is going to be a function of how much fat it has. There are two sources of fat in hummus: olive oil and tahini (ground sesame seeds).

The Silver Palate has a very rich hummus recipe with lots of olive oil.

Have you ever checked topsecretrecipes.com? They have lots of clones from restaurant food. I've made a few and they've all been pretty close. You can get a free recipe once a week, after that it's 79 cents I think. Good luck!

I make hummus by whizzing up a can of garbanzo beans (drained), a few cloves of garlic, a little salt, a little lemon juice, and a glob of olive oil in the food processor. I think it's pretty good.

It could have been garbanzo and Great Northern beans. I made some of this a couple weeks ago and it was white, whereas garbanzos alone make it beige.

Try using equal amounts of both beans (cooked and cooled or canned, drained)about a cup each, a couple pinches salt, a teaspoon or chopped garlic, a teaspoon or so of tahini (this is an important ingredient, do not substitute peanut butter as I've seen in some site's recipes), a teaspoon or two of olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Process until smooth. I add a little bit of water if it's too thick.

Hope this helps.

I would like to make hummus. I have tried a couple of recipes, but haven't gotten the right one yet.

1 can of drained chickpeas (garbanzo)
1 large close of garlic (chopped)
2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice (reconstituted is ok)
2-3 tablespoons of tahini

Advertisement


1/2 to 3/4 tsp salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Put the lemon and garlic in the food processor to grind. Add the drained chickpeas, and the rest of the ingredients. Chilled it tastes better. To serve spread it in a plate as in the picture and pour a little olive oil in the center. Sprinkle a bit of paprika and cumin on to make it attractive and garnish with chopped parsley.

Hummus

1 can garbonzo beans
2 cloves roasted garlic
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seed
3/4- 1 tsp salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2-1 teaspoon cumin
1 medium roasted red bell pepper

Drain peas and reserve to add to hummus as you process. Process all ingredients adding pea broth until you have the consistency you want. You don't want it too thin so add a little at a time.

To roast a red bell pepper: split a red bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds but not the stem. Coat the outside with canola oil and bake inside down in a 250 degree oven until skin looks blistered and beginning to turn dark brown to black. Remove and cool and the skin will slide off easily.
I found this easy and I didn't have to buy the tahini paste which is pricy. It tastes like the hummus in the stores.

This is really good. I love it with celery.

Hummus

1 can garbonzo beans drained and save broth
2 cloves of garlic minced and roasted
1 tablespoon Sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seed
3/4 - 1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 -1 teaspoon cumin
1 roasted medium red bell pepper

Drain beans and save broth to add to hummus as you process. Put all ingredients in food processor and process until smooth adding the broth as you process. You won't need all the broth.

Roasted red peppers are pricy so all you do is cut the pepper long ways in half and remove the seeds then rub with olive oil and put on foil the skin side up on a baking sheet with sides and bake at 300 degrees until the skin turns brown to black. Take out and let cool and the skin comes off nicely.
