Best Geneseo Hummus Recipes

3 EASY, DELICIOUS HOMEMADE HUMMUS RECIPES

Steps:

• When making a homemade hummus recipe, what really makes a difference is the order that you add the ingredients.
• For this hummus recipe, start by adding the tahini and lemon juice in a food processor or blender and pulse for about 1 minute, until thick and light in colour. Then the chickpeas go in. Process the mixture, until the chickpeas are minced.
• Lots of hummus recipes require to remove the skins from the chickpeas. Although this is not difficult it will certainly take some more time, but the truth is, having tested both ways, I am not sure that it is worth the trouble. If you have the time try it for yourself by gently pinching the chickpeas until the skin comes off.
• Add the minced garlic and pour in the olive oil a little bit at a time, whilst pulsing, like making mayonnaise. Blend until the oil is incorporated and the hummus mixture is smooth or coarsely pureed, depending on your preference.
• Season with salt and cumin and pour in 1-2 tbsps water, if the hummus is too thick. Pulse for 1 more minute. Done!
• To prepare this homemade hummus recipe with homemade tahini, start by making the tahini paste. You can either use the sesame seeds raw or roasted. Roasting the sesame seeds will make them easier to grind and your tahini will have better texture. But if you have a really good food processor use them raw as tahini made from raw sesame is lower in fat. Place the sesame seeds on a large baking tray and roast them for about 5 minutes, until fragrant and glossy. Sesame seeds can burn very quickly, so make sure to shake them frequently and be careful not to brown them.
• Place the sesame seeds in a food processor (fitted with a metal blade) and pour in the vegetable oil. Process for about 5 minutes until you have a smooth tahini paste. Don't forget to pulse for about 1 minute, scrape the seeds from the sides, pulse again and repeat until smooth. Add a little bit more oil if necessary to bring the paste to a thick pouring consistency.
• Continue preparing the hummus according to the basic recipe instructions.
• The best part with tahini paste is that it can be stored for several months, so store the rest in an air tight container in the refrigerator and have it ready for next time!
• To prepare this version of homemade hummus recipe without tahini, place the garlic in a food processor and mince.
• Add the chickpeas and lemon juice and pulse until the chickpeas are minced. Pour in the olive oil a little bit at a time, whilst pulsing, like making mayonnaise. Blend until the oil is incorporated and the hummus mixture is smooth or coarsely pureed, depending on your preference.
• Season with salt and cumin and pour in the water, whilst mixing. Add the water gradually and check the texture of the hummus. If your hummus is creamy and liquid enough for your taste, don't use all the water.
• Check the seasonings and adjust as you like.

EASY HUMMUS RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE HUMMUS

Steps:

• Add chickpeas and minced garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Puree until a smooth, powder-like mixture forms.
• While processor is running, add ice cubes, tahini, salt, and lemon juice. Blend for about 4 minutes or so. Check, and if the consistency is too thick still, run processor and slowly add a little hot water. Blend until you reach desired silky smooth consistency.
• Spread in a serving bowl and add a generous drizzle of Early Harvest EVOO. Add a few chickpeas to the middle, if you like. Sprinkle sumac on top. Enjoy with warm pita wedges and your favorite veggies.

GENESEO HUMMUS

Steps:

• Drain Chick Peas, and Mash with Potato Masher!
• Mix all other ingredients together.
• Pour mixed ingredients into Chick Peas, mash further.
• Hints--you can leave out most of the Tahini and Oil, and just add fat-free plain yogurt until it is at desired consistency, and add a bit of mustard too.
• I like mine chunky, like they had it at the cafe, but most people blend theirs.
• I also use extra lemon juice, and substitute chopped parsley for the scallion.
• Other tangy add-ins--the juice from a jar of pickles gives a kick, as does hot sauce.
• Serve with pita wedges, nachos, or in a"Hummanitarian" sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and sprouts.
• (50 servings is a guess, I never tried the whole 10 lbs).
