You need to find a good traditional recipe if you want to make your own. Shouldn't be to hard to make it nice enough.

Granted, I have never made my own, and don't plan on ever making it since I can buy it fresh (and authentic and cheap) whenever I want.

When I make it, I always use soy sauce and a little bit of fresh ground cumin.

I DONT KNOW!!! Apparently I'm not the only one though. 3 other people at the table chimed that the same thing happens to them when they make it which makes me feel better because it can't be just me (for once)

i couldn't quite get the texture right, it wasn't smooth enough despite spending what seemed like an eternity in the food processor

Practice makes perfect

"esp if you value your time (ie, i find it to be a pain in the balls to adequately clean my food processor blades, and it takes like 10 minutes). I can be convinced that my 10 minutes is worth more than the $0.75 difference in cost. "

If you use canned beans sure, but dried beans are so cheap, and fresh beans from the garden are even better. All you have to do to clean your blades is let it soak in some soapy water with your pots. Rinse and done!

funny thing is I not a big fan of chickpeas but one time I put a bunch in a freezer bag and put in some minced garlic, lemon, and some other stuff I forget and mashed it up really good, it was kind of like hummus.

made this simple one and it was so so good and easy and it keeps forever

Quote :

"Hummus Recipe Ingredients * 4 garlic cloves, minced and then mashed * 2 15-oz cans of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed * 2/3 cup of tahini (roasted, not raw) * 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice * 1/2 cup water * 1/4 cup olive oil * 1/2 teaspoon of salt * Pine nuts (toasted) and parsley (chopped) for garnish Method 1 In a food processor, combine the mashed garlic, garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, and olive oil. Process until smooth. Add salt, starting at a half a teaspoon, to taste."

defense of canned beans:

Quote :

"This basic hummus recipe calls for using canned garbanzo beans. I've made hummus using dried beans, soaking them, cooking them, etc. but the results just weren't as good. The canned beans actually mash up pretty well."

I had some today at The Cheesecake Factory and then someone told me there were some jumbo shrimp up for grabs so I had one of those too and then the kitchen manager said I was a fatty

9/13/2010 9:24:22 PM

anyone that eats at Cheesecake Factory is a fatty, that place has the most disturbing nutrition facts in the world.

Sabra has some good single serving cups of hummus that I got from Costco. So nice and convenient.
