I've got some chickpeas at home I need to do something with, and I've heard a lot about hummus. I'm gonna try to find a homemade hummus recipe, but there's only one thing stopping me.
What the heck do I do with it then? I mean, I'm NOT a raw veggie fan - to the point I won't eat a veggie raw no matter what it's dipped in.
either eat it in a veggie burger or in a pita full of lettuce tomato olives cucumber and sprouts. I love it thinned down as a salad dressing too.
My recipe is so simple
Chickpeas cooked or canned
Yogurt
Lemon
Salt
Asefotida(garlic subsitute)
Tahini paste
Blend it all together and taste to check if u want to add anything extra
MindiV, hummus will last a week, and probably more like two, in the fridge. Maybe longer if you use a recipe that doesn't have yogurt. Beans are pretty sturdy!
i just eat it on crackers it goes bad pretty fast though the ones I bought will have to try to make my own also, I used it as a dip for chips before also mixed with some salsa i made was good
I take corn tortillas and brown them in a skillet (without oil) and then use them as my dippers for hummus. I have only recently discovered hummus and I love it. The corn tortillas and hummus helps curb the chip and dip craving and I have can have two tortillas and a serving of hummus for about 115 calories.
Tried homemade from a recipe, but didn't have everything I needed. It didn't turn out so well. May try some store-bought first, so I know what it's SUPPOSED to taste like, then make my own again.
My favorite thing to do with hummus is put it on a sandwich. I take 2 slices of sourdough bread and spread the hummus on them then I add some sliced tomato, a little Avocado and a slice of fresh mozzarella. In fact add a garden salad with vinaigrette and that's my standard lunch!
