THE BEST HUMMUS



The Best Hummus image

This is a classic tahini-forward, bright and lemony hummus, and is similar to what you would find in Israel. We tried this recipe with from-scratch dried chickpeas as well as with canned, and the flavor and texture were only marginally better with the freshly cooked. And we saved 24 hours of prep time! So for a creamy, satisfying 15-minute hummus, we're going with the can.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 15.5-ounce can chickpeas
2/3 cup tahini
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, plus more if desired
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more if desired
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Hot smoked paprika, for sprinkling
Toasted pita bread, pita chips or cut raw vegetables, for serving

Steps:

  • Drain the chickpeas in a medium mesh sieve, reserving the liquid. Reserve about 7 chickpeas for garnish.
  • Process the tahini, garlic and cumin in a food processor. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup of the reserved chickpea liquid (if you don't have exactly 2/3 cup, add water until the total amount is 2/3 cup) and process until light and very creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. The mixture will appear broken at first but will come together after all the liquid is added and has been processed for a minute or two.
  • Add the chickpeas, the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the tahini mixture. Process until the mixture is extremely smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally, about 4 minutes. Thin with more water if you prefer a looser consistency. Taste and season with more salt, lemon juice or cumin as desired.
  • Spoon the hummus into a shallow bowl, making a well in the center, and drizzle liberally with oil. Top with the reserved chickpeas and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with pita bread, pita chips or cut raw vegetables.

WORLD'S BEST CHIPOTLE,GARLIC HUMMUS



World's Best Chipotle,Garlic Hummus image

Hummus is high in fiber that slows digestion and keeps blood sugar levels from rising too quickly. Chickpeas contain iron and manganese that keep our energy levels up and our blood healthy. Chickpeas are also a complete protein and a healthy source of carbohydrates. Olive oil is a wonderful source of healthy fats. Healthy fats...

  • 2. Note : To make home made Ezekiel chips are quick to make and are the best chips I have ever eaten. This is an original recipe that I came up with, and I am so happy that I did. They are crunchy, spicy and delicious.
  • 3. Pre-heat oven to 450 F
  • 4. Take one of your wraps and place it on a baking sheet or stone. Drizzle with olive oil, then with hot sauce.
  • 5. Take the second wrap and place on top of the oiled/hot sauced wrap. (like a sandwich) Smooth them around spreading the oil and hot sauce evenly to both wraps. Cut the sandwiched wraps into chip sized slices.
  • 6. Peel chip slices apart and place sauce side up on your baking sheet.
  • 7. Bake for 8 minutes (*be sure to set a timer and keep an eye on these chips. I can not tell you how many times I have burned mine and they are so darn good you will be mad at yourself). Remove from the oven, place on a plate along with your hummus and enjoy your dipping! Share with a friend and experience true, guilt-free chips.

BEST EVER HUMMUS



Best Ever Hummus image

I've tried many hummus recipes, and this is the easiest and tastiest one! It seems a bit like cheating, but one bite and you'll never make it any other way. The Annie's dressing is tahini based and full of other flavors that lend themselves well to hummus. This is an easy, economical and tasty alternative to expensive, preservative-filled storebought hummus. It is delicious!

Hummus Bi Tahine - Best Hummus Recipe I've Found yet ! image

http://desertcandy.blogspot.com/2007/07/hummus-dilettante.html Cook time for canned chickpeas (add 1 hour for dried chickpeas).

Provided by mikey ev

Categories     Spreads

Time 25m

Yield 1 cup, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups dried garbanzo beans or 2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
1/2 cup lemon juice
olive oil (for serving) (optional)
parsley (for serving) (optional)
paprika (for serving) (optional)
cumin (for serving) (optional)

Steps:

  • For dried chickpeas: Soak the chickpeas overnight in water. Drain, and place chickpeas in a pot and add fresh water to cover by at least one inch, gently rub the chickpeas against each other with your hands. Bring the chickpeas to a boil with a pinch of salt, skim the surface, then lower the heat and simmer until the chickpeas are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • For canned chickpeas: Rinse the chickpeas, then place in a saucepan with water to cover by one inch. Put your hands in the pot and gently rub the chickpeas against each other. Place saucepan on the stove and bring to a boil and simmer until chickpeas are very soft: test a chickpea by squeezing it between your fingers, it should smush easily, this could take between 5 and 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, skim off any chickpea skins that have floated to the surface and discard them.
  • Place the garlic and salt in a food processor and pulse to chop. Add the tahini and lemon juice and process until the mixture is slightly whitened and contracted. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chickpeas to the processor (don't discard the cooking liquid) and process until very smooth. Thin the hummus to the desired consistency with the reserved cooking liquid. Taste and adjust seasoning with lemon juice and salt.
  • To serve: spread hummus in a shallow bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with spices if desired. Traditional accompaniments include pita bread, pickles, fresh mint, and hot tea.

THE BEST HUMMUS

I created this recipe through modifications of other hummus recipes. It suits my family's taste just right and is healthier than others I have seen. My tip is to drain all the oil off the tahini when you first purchase it. We eat it with honey wheat pretzel rods.
