Oh my I'm hungry now!!!
Excellent
Didn't realize a simple hummus video would bring all the gatekeepers and nutters out of the woodwork 😂
You know, to get the skins off canned chick peas all you have to do is dump them in a bowl and add water to cover by about an inch. Then gently rub them between your hands and, voila, most of the skins will float to the top of the water, making them easy to remove. Less skins, silkier hummus with less tahini and olive oil required to smooth it out.
Beejay Swifter I do that two. It does make a difference.
About the Tahini: Is Tahini sold in the US very dilluted? If I added that amount of Tahini that I buy in Austria it would result in a rather bitter taste, very seasamy-overloaded. Especially for beginners I would suggest to start with way less Tahini and only slowly add while tasting.
@@idnwiw What is the brand you buy? Buying online, we might be able to get that, too. So much depends on the brand you buy. Some are very thin and, I'd guess, have added sesame oil rather than being just ground sesame seeds. Some are almost solid but with some free oil floating on the tops so you have to mix it together yourself. I've always started from something like maybe a tablespoon of the solid version to a can of beans and add more if I think there's not enough sesame flavor. Likewise, garlic or olive oil or lemon juice or whatever you might add to yours. Begin small and add more to your taste.
@@idnwiw Not all brands are the same. Some are more bitter than others. It has to do with the amount of time that the sesame seeds are toasted. You can usually tell by the color of the tahini. Middle Eats has a tahini video that shows the differences and how to make your own. You'd definitely want to adjust it to taste, depending on what you are using.
i guess its the time for me to come out, guys, I'm hummusexual af.
Calls for minced garlic as she drops in a whole clove unminced.
Alex Axline I don’t think you really need to mince the garlic as the food processor will do that for you. Just an editing glitch. Do as the video shows you. You should be fine!
@@rachaelnikkola8257 They say minced in case you don't have a food processor and make it with traditional tools.
Do you folks really believe that there's only one way to make hummus, come on! Just like most things in life, diversity is a wonderful important part of our lives! This program is an excellent source of information, and how to learn some great ways to prep and cook things you may not have felt that you could successfully attempt. It's also a source of wonderful cook books too. Most of people can greatly benefit from good sensible cook books that keep those who are looking for both a good foundation to build on their kitchen skills, as well as an excellent reference source, no matter how long you have been cooking. They continue to provide excellent sources of information on how to improve on what we may have learned in the past.
Just an example of that, I have seen a recipe on one of the PBS cooking shows it could have even been this one I'm not positive, for a recipe to make hummus that was not cold it's served warm or even on the hot side. So it just shows that most of us, (if not all) can benefit from the program, and the cook books that they produce!
Thanks so much for all the help and extremely useful information that you continue to share with us. Giving all of us the opportunity to keep improving our skills in the kitchen! ☯️🙋❣️👌
Do you really believe that they believe there is only one way, come on!

This recipe definitely makes sense, because we all know hummus's best friend is Pete the chip!
Can you do this in on convection mode ?
Yes
that's one big minced garlic...
I boil my own chickpeas and use that water in the hummus, tastes really good.
I love her! What is your name?
Bad info on making Tahini: You don't add sesame oil to uncooked seeds. Check out the internet for real instructions: Very lightly brown the seeds in an oven or in a skillet, put the seeds in a food processor with some olive or vegetable oil and blend. One thing you don't want is for tahini to taste like Asian sesame seed oil. I love sesame oil, but the flavour is too strong for middle eastern recipes. Also I don't consider soaking dried beans overnight 'complicated'.
Plain sesame oil is available in Middle Eastern stores (and some supermarkets). I like to use it for deep frying because it has a high smoke point. It's not all toasted like the Chinese version.
Duh! Christie Morrison! My bust!
Your head will explode if you try Israeli or any other version homemade hummus, hummus in this vid looks and tastes nothing like the real thing
Please tell us the difference. This is the basic recipe everyone posts. Thanks
@@oksills Remove the peels(sounds simple but the consistency is on another level), serve with tahini and boiled cheakpeaps on the same platter sprinkled with paprika and some parsley(p.s. if you dont want to soak cheakpeavs over night, you could pressure cook them under 30 minuted
Well, TBH, the "real thing" is Egyptian and doesn't have garlic.
Garlic came much later.
zukacs Thanks much!
You waste a lot of time using a food processor. Put everything in your Vitamix and your done.
RTZ You then spend that time cleaning your vitamix
That was soooo much cling wrap for such a tiny bowl, how about a Tupperware with a lid??
Tupperware =toxic food! Nope!
oksills Ok, lets create more trash, because we’re clearly running low!
@@MJ-ib7iq
What are you, the Saran Wrap Police?
Looks delicious! I love Israeli food.
Hummus is not Israeli food. It is a Middle Eastern dish. It is eaten in Israel because it was a Palestinian staple. And the best hummus is in fact Lebanese.
@@karldelavigne8134 nope. Turkish
@@karldelavigne8134 If a snack can threaten your whole national identify, I'd say you've got an identity crisis.
@@wotan10950 It is what is known as a delicious irony.
Karl Delavigne We obviously don’t agree about Middle-East peace.....but by delicious irony we are both fans of Gwyneth Jones!
No No, Hummus with store bought cans? How dare you!?
CUISINED it's for those for whom soaking and blending beans is too kompleeekated and who like spending FAR more money than it costs to buy a bag of dried beans....In other words, the vast majority of fools who cannot live without buying healthy whole food plant based foodstuffs that does not come processed, refined and loaded with crap in a 'box' at a significantly higher cost than does very simply making it.
@@sdushdiu
Not really.
You still have to soak, takes water that people pay for. Have to wash the soaking dish. Have to use energy to cook them, and then wash the cooking pot.
And for all that, if someone made a batch both ways and didn't tell you which used canned, you wouldn't have a clue.
Dry beans are cheaper than canned, but NOT by much., And if you factor in your labor, they're not cheaper.
@@sdushdiu You mean those folks who come home from work/school and just crave hummus? And grab the can off the shelf and five minutes later have satisfied their craving?? Those who aren't so precious that they cannot eat something that doesn't require planning and preparing 24 hours ahead??? Those people????
Beejay Swifter oh my! So you say those who 'crave hummus' are do stupid that they eat it routinely, but as they are clueless that they will want dome in the future, find it too kompleeekated to put dry beans in a bowl and cover them with water?
Oh my! What do they do about having to buy toilet paper in advance???
Given how much one can readily save by putting a cup of beans in a large bowl and filling it with water - instead of planning ahead and buying commercial hummus filled with oil and myriad other chemical, yeah, a SMART person makes their own and uses any number of healthy 'seasonings' to make it even better.
If that's too kompleeekated for asshats like yourself, assume responsibility for your being an idiot.
@@sdushdiu No, as you'd realize if you actually read my comment instead of trying (and failing) to be social media cute. I'm saying that you can make hummus from canned beans in just a few minutes if you aren't too precious to appreciate the convenience.
I Love the idea but, it's much cheaper to buy the Hummus, than it is to make it at home.
I agree. I am retired and live on a fixed budget. Tahini is rather pricey.
Irish Stock No its not! Dried, soaked and blended beans are freaking Cheap (a bag of dried beans is less than a buck and will make6 or do batches!), whereas one plastic bowl of hummus averages $3-4!
Similarly for pita or nasn. Slightly raised pita is NOT necessary! A package of 4-6 pita or naan costs ~$4+ whereas any kind of flour ( I like whole rolled oat flour) can be made from a cup of oatmeal and water for about $.25!!!!
Let's see...$.25 + $.25 = $.50 versus $4 + $4=$8!!!!
Not even close!
Naan and hummus are two of the EASIEST, cheapest and healthiest foodstuffs available if made if whole grains and no oil!
@@hungsu9204 if you make the tahini which is very fast and cheap its about 1/10th the price
Hung Su No! You don't need tahini, and if you want, simple ground roasted sesame seeds work better - sans the unhealthy oil!
Hung Su, me too.
To me...tahini is worthless. You have to buy so much and it really does not ADD a dramatic difference.
I use sesame seed oil for the sesame flavor.
If I do not have lemon I use a splash of vinegar.
Using one can of chick peas and one can of white canalini beans makes it smoother.
Sautéed garlic or roasted is really nice also.
I also use the water from the can why not 🤷🏻♂️
Coz can.water makes u fart
I cant stand humus, but i like atk , so i watch.
Gigi Dodson Plain hummus can indeed be bland as hell - which speaks as much about the chef who lacks the creativity to add whatever flavoring they like - be it hot and spicy, garlic, onion, tomato, spinach, boiled sweet potato!
What is so kompleeekated about adding whatever flavor ingredients you like???? Hmmmm?
Damn it gets old listening to so many clueless folks who think this is too costly, difficult, bland, or whatever!
@@sdushdiu
The person you're responding to never said any of those things. She just said she doesn't like hummus. Is that disallowed?
JamesJ Fisk Poor baby. She can say anything she likes, as can I, you butthurt self- entitled UA-cam censor. I simply simplified the issue by acknowledging that many can and do find plain hummus quite bland - and in the process triggered your intolerant authoritarian SJW response as I dared to suggest that its quite easy to modify the taste of hummus to suit almost any taste preference! "Is that disallowed"? Hmmm?
Now I realize that violates your code of intolerance, but you know what? I don't give a sh!t. And you can now take your butthurt sense of indignation and fk off! Toodles, asshat.
Save dishes and put it all in a blender....they didnt add olive oil or salt, that's odd....plus a little cumin is great or kalamata olives or roasted red peppers
Yeah, they did. Salt and cumin are added to the chick peas when processing. Olive oil is added to the tahini before processing.
Byerlys is 5 minutes away...Store bought red pepper hummus and sea salt pita chips...Spent 20 minutes total and spent a third of what it is going to cost you to make it fresher?
This is a great ,"base" starter for hummus. For me, I would add some roasted red bell pepper or basil and Parm or even make a salsa hummus. So many way to add different flavors and make the dish your own. I enjoy variety and that's what is great about cooking.
Great recipe. Thanks
You’re doing it wrong! You MUST remove the chickpea skins! Also it’s pronounced Chummus (Ch*oum-us)
It's actually pronounced Chlamydia.
There is no need to add endothelial inflammation inducing (and CVD causing) oil. Similarly to tahini, there is no need to add oil.
Similarly for chips, use either oil free corn tortillas, or easily grind rolled oats into oat flour in a common coffee/spice grinder or blender (put a small amount of rice grains into them and repeat ti clean them afterwards if desired) and make a simple naan bread from the oat flour and water mix for dramatically cheaper and healthier chips. And leave off this asinine preoccupation with oil that turns one of the healthiest snacks and meal replacements into a toxic heart disease inducing mess.
Also, experiment substituting and/or mixing black beans, lentils, and sweet potato - along with spinach, kale, garlic, jalapeños, ginger, turmeric and black pepper(always together to increase the effectiveness of the turmeric), tomatoes, onions/scallions or any other ingredient into the hummus for great flavor variations.
you sound like nutjob - olive oil has been proven to be healthy in reasonable doses
Nocturne22 Wrong! The research of Robert Vogel and the brachial artery tourniquet ultrasound tests and the multi-year studies of Lawrence Rudel as well as the vetted clinical studies of Caldwell Esselstyn have shown that ALL oils, be they saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, cis or trans cause the nitric oxide producing endothelial cell inflammation and subsequent cell death, the cells which are then 'repaired' with plaque and the subsequent cumulative loss of nitric oxide production which facilitates the dilation of arteries under stress, which is the fundamental causal element resulting in cardiovascular disease. Note too that Caldwell Esselstyn and Neil Barnard are the first ones to have successfully developed a WFPB oil free regimen repeated demonstrated to literally prevent and reverse terminal heart disease, type2 diabetes, hypertension, prostate and breast cancer and more since 1987 which requires no fancy costs, medicine, nor other fees. And it is not only documented, but has been vetted (repeated) myriad tomes by others verifying its effectiveness.
The asshat study to which you refer was performed over a 30 day period where they fed white mice olive oil and white bread and noted that after 30 days that the relative ratio of hdl and ldl levels had shifted favorably by less tha 5%! Not only is the % insignificant, but the result was still the long term development of CVD as verified by Rudel's studies!
It's always fun(sic) to listen to those citing anecdotal 'evidence' they can't reference that was based on bad science.
