Hummous is hardly an innovative recipe and I'm not sure we need another contribution to the online collection of hummous ideas. This one is only lightly adapted from a BBC recipe. However, sometimes this blog is for my own reference too! If you do need an idea for ingredient proportions, this one should suit if you like chickpeas and chunky dips. It makes a great base for falafal wraps too, as pictured below.
Quick and easy chunky hummous
Makes about 1-1/2 cups
Food processor needed
Author: Lightly adapted from a BBC hummous recipe
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (equivalent to a standard 375g tin, drained)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp tahini
3 tbsp lemon juice
5 tbsp water
Method
Add all ingredients except the lemon juice and water to a food processor, and process until fairly smooth. Add the lemon juice and water and process until integrated and the mixture has your desired consistency.
Store in the fridge, covered.
So...how do you like your hummous?
Hummus HAS to be a little bit chunky in my opinion. It's the only way to do it.
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteI do like hummous but usually buy it - and it comes fairly thin. This looks like a good version.
ReplyDeleteOur store bought versions are fairly thin too - I think they cater to Mr Bite's tastes :)
DeleteI'm a firm believer that hummus needs to be chunky. And I like it on all the things! My favourite at the moment is with carrot sticks but I've also been using it as layers in lasagne type dishes lately and it's delicious while adding a bit of creaminess too
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love the idea of using it in lasagne type dishes. I will have to try that!
Deleteyour falafel wrap looks so good. I like hummus any old way just as long as it is not chunky because the chickpeas aren't cooked properly. And I feel like you about my blog - it is my recipe journal and sometimes I just want to record some recipe even if my photos aren't great or my recipe isn't earthshattering - good to see I am not alone (not reflection on your recipes - just one mine!)
ReplyDeleteoops - I mean no reflection on your photos!)
DeleteHaha, don't worry - I have plenty of photos are in that category too! I'm glad you feel the same about recipe documentation. And non-cooked chickpeas are definitely not a good form of chunky :-)
DeleteI love hummus, the chunkier the better. We often add chopped up sun-dried red peppers to ours :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely idea!
DeleteIt is easier to scoop onto a cracker if there's some chunkiness to it. I do love to use hummus as a butter substitute to use on sandwiches and wraps xx
ReplyDeleteMe too :-)
DeleteI like both but am on a smooth kick at the moment since I discovered I could make it in my blender (instead of my food processor) and it gets SO velvety.
ReplyDeleteVelvety is good too!
DeleteWe love Mediterranean, especially their dips. Hummus is a favourite. Thanks for sharing!!
