Optional, if your consistancy is the way you want, but you want more lemon flavor, add citric acid to enhance the flavor. Spread the hummus in a nice plate and garnish with parsley, cayenne pepper and olive oi, serve with pita bread, crackers or vegetables.Hummus also spelled hamos, hommos, hommus, homos, houmous, hummos, hummous, or humus is a Levantine Arab dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. It is a popular food throughout the Middle East and elsewhere. It is found in almost every grocery store and is quickly replacing salsa as a party appetizer. It is great because it is also healthy, full of protein and fiber from the beans that are used. It can be used as a dip or a sandwich spread. NOTE: if you don't want to use canned chick peas, purchase dried chick peas, soak in a bowl of water to the brim, overnight. Drain the chick peas and pour them into a large pot, with water to the brim just to cover the chick peas, add 1 tbs baking soda, cook on medium low heat for 1 hour or until the chick peas are tender and easy to smash with our finger. Hmmmm not sure what it is. The only one I can think of is harissa. but then again, each region and even family has their own version. Sorry :( By: dedemed Love your videos! Quick & silly question. In New York (Manhattan) there are a gazillion corner vendors of falafels & chicken on pita ("gyros") seems like most of the vendors are from Yemen. They have an absolutely delicious dark "hot sauce." Any idea what that stuff is? (and, of course, how to make it) It's not harissa, but maybe contains some? By: AlEndo01 Well yes, I have heard to skin all of the chick peas but I personally have never tried it, that would take hours. So what you can do is to boil your chick peas for 10-15 minutes in a small pot with enough water just to cover the chick peas, then drain them and put them in the blender while they are warm, after they are well blended, let them sit and cool then start making your hummus. By: dedemed the recipe is on my site DedeMed.com By: dedemed Hey DeDe, love your site! I have a long time question about hummus. I LOVE hummus from restaurants and from the store. However, whenever I try to make it at home, it never seems to get that creamy "smooth" consistency. I have a vitamix even and still can't get the same texture. Someone once told me to remove all the skins from the chickpeas but I never read that in any recipes. Any suggestions?? Thanks!! By: Brenda Lynn what is ratio of check peas( Garbonzo Beans) to Tahini. is it one cup of Garbonzo Beans to 1/2 cup of Tahini? By: Badar Awan yes you can definitely use lime juice, you may want to reduce the amount a little and then just omit the citric acid :) By: dedemed Hi Dede - Can we use lime juice instead of lemon juice in this recipe? I know that they are 2 different things, but was just wondering if the taste will differ if I use lime instead of lemon. By: naymit2023 You can refrigerate it for 1 week or freeze it for 1 month :) By: dedemed HI Amber, you just follow my recipe all the way through. When the yogurt is completed and chilled then you can just add fruit to the yogurt with some honey :) By: dedemed Hi there, my name is Amber and new to your site. I'm writing because, I am going to attempt your Greek yogurt recipe. I wanted to know what do I need to do if wanting to add fruit, I.e. strawberries, to it. I want it to be like the fruit on the bottom type of Greek yogurt. Also, how much sugar to add as well.
Thank you,
Amber By: Amber Ba'th hi, i do this hummus just rigth now, so... i think i make too much.. how many days i can storage this hummus?? Please answer me... Kisses from Chile :D By: devoitka well yes, you can make the chicken phyllo wraps with the turkey left overs and just replace the chicken with the turkey.
