Made hummus for the first time
« on: July 23, 2017, 09:20:30 PM »
I used dried chickpeas.  It is amazing the taste difference!  Much more flavor and nuttier.

Unfortunately, I made far too much so hopefully can freeze it!

Add a light layer of olive oil to the top before you freeze it, this will prevent freezer burn.

The one and only time I have made hummus, it was not a success. I used dried beans, but couldn't use tahini, which I am guessing was the big difference.

Oh yeah, tahini is a key ingredient. It's like leaving the olive oil out of pesto.

Peanut butter works pretty well.  I can't tell the difference.

Nothing. I found a recipe, that got GREAT, reviews (epicurious(sp?)  maybe?) Yea, it was crap. It is also very possible that it was user error. I do not claim to be a good cook.

I did not use the tahini due to the it being potentially lethal to my youngest...PB would definitely be a bad substitute as she is also allergic to peanuts.  :D 

Once she is older, I will likely ease up on what is allowed in my house, but I attempted to make that for a party where I was not going to be with her 100% of the time...so nope.

I should mention, that my solution now to when I want hummus is just to go out at lunch when DD#2 isn't around. No exposure and it tastes so much better than what I made.  :D

Sounds like a good plan :)

DH is the hummus maker in our house -- he always uses canned beans, though. It comes out really great, but I wonder if it would be even better with dried beans. Now that I have an instant pot, I'm not afraid of dried beans anymore.

Tahini is key, but we also like lemon and a good dose of garlic in ours.
