Make Your Own Hummus

MAKE YOUR OWN HUMMUS

Vegetarian Recipes:
http://www.fatfree.com/recipes/hummus/


The Classic: Middle Eastern Hummus

4 garlic cloves, minced and then mashed
2 15-oz cans of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
2/3 cup of tahini (roasted, not raw)
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup water

1/2 teaspoon of salt
Pine nuts (toasted) and parsley (chopped) for garnish

In a food processor, combine the mashed garlic, garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, and olive oil. Process until smooth. Add salt, starting at a half a teaspoon, to taste.

Spoon into serving dish and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley.

Serve with crackers, raw dip vegetables such as carrots or celery, or with pita bread. You can cut the pita bread into thin triangles, brush with olive oil and toast for 10 minutes in a 400°F oven to make pita chips with which to serve the hummus.

Makes about 3 cups.

*This award-winning hummus appears in All Recipe's Cookbook.


Spicy Indian Hummus

* 2 cups chickpeas (soaked overnight and cooked in a pressure cooker, reserve some cooking water)
* 1/4 cup sesame seeds
* 3-4 cloves garlic
* 1 tbsp coriander powder
* 1 tsp coriander powder
* 2 tsp chili powder (or less)
* 1/2 tsp garam masala
* 1/2 lemon, juiced
* 5-6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
* salt, to taste

Hardware
---------------
* Food processor

Method
---------------
* Toast the sesame seeds on low heat until they pop and release the oils.
* Put the sesame seeds in a blender and powder them.
* Add the chickpeas, garlic cloves, all the spices, the salt, the lemon juice and blend. Stream in the extra virgin olive oil into the food processor as it is blending. If the mixture becomes to thick add some reserved cooking liquid from the chickpeas that were cooked above.
* Cover and refrigerate.

Pita Bread
Get the regular Greek pita bread at the grocery store, heated up your grill pan, spray some Pam on one side and grill it on medium-low heat so the outside becomes crunchy but the inside of the bread is still soft. Spray pam on the other side and repeat. Cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.


Thai Basil Hummus

2 (15oz) cans garbano beans, rinsed and drained
2 tbsp roasted peanut oil
2 tbsp peanut butter
juice and zest of 2 limes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 c fresh basil leaves, minced
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
salt/pepper to taste

Combine beans, oil, peanut butter, lime juice and zest, and garlic. *I use the potato masher to keep a great texture, but feel free to use a food processor* Stir in basil, pepper, salt, and pepper. Allow to chill for an hour or so, then serve and enjoy!


Spicy Hummus
(The Human Vacuum's patented recipe)

Dump into a colander and rinse well with cold water:
2 cups canned chickpeas
(Canned chickpeas can be pretty salty. When you first start rinsing the water will foam. Keep going until the foam subsides.)

Pour the chickpeas into the food processor and add:
2/3 cup tahini paste
1/4 cup lime juice (lemon is traditional, but lime is zingier)
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 Tablespoons Potbelly Hot Peppers or other spicy pickled pepper (optional, but awesome)
Pinch salt

Whir the whole mess in the food processor until very smooth. Some people like a little chunky texture, but they are fools. Go for the consistency of Greek yogurt. Stick some pita, or your fingers, into the processor occasionally (stop the blades first) to allow your girlfriend to taste test. If the hummus sticks together in a ball, or otherwise and seems too thick, thin it with a few Tablespoons of water or olive oil. H.V. prefers to use water and drizzle the olive oil over the top at the end.

Serve drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with:
Fresh cilantro, orpaprika (smoked for preference)

***California Pizza Kitchen Checca ***
2 pounds Roma tomatoes, cut into 1/2" dice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

Fit a food processor with the steel blade. Process the garlic cloves until finely minced, stopping the processor occasionally to scrape down the sides of the work bowl. Add the beans and pulse the machine a few times to chop them coarsely. Then, with the machine running, puree them while you slowly pour the sesame paste through the feed tube. Still with the motor running, pour the olive oil, lemon juice, and soy sauce through the feed tube, stopping the processor occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Stop the processor, open the lid, and add the salt, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Process until thoroughly blended. If the puree seems too thick for dipping or spreading, pulse in the 1/4 to 1/2 cup cold water. Transfer the puree to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to chill well before serving.

Preheat the oven to 250ºF.

Put the pita breads in the oven and heat until thoroughly warmed, 6 to 8 minutes.

Carefully remove and cut into wedges. Place the chilled hummus in a serving plate or bowl and arrange the tomato Checca on top. Garnish with the chopped parsley and surround with the pita triangles. Serve immediately.

1 Bag sprouted bean mix (1 3/4 cup size)
2 lemons, juiced
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
1/2 cup fresh organic carrot juice

Directions:

Put all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. A blender may need a little more liquid to get a smooth texture.

My variation: instead of the carrot juice, I grate 2 whole organic carrots in the food processor first, then add all the other ingredients and process until smooth.

Great with whole wheat pita pockets.


Hummus Tex-Mex

Ingredients:
2 cans Chick peas
2 tablespoons Lemon juice (or a bit more, If you like lemony hummus)

Drain one can of chick peas completely, the other one such that some liquid is left. Put into bowl. Add lemon juice. Mince and add cilantro and add Tabasco sauce. Blend until smooth.

Serve with crackers or use as a spread on Whole Wheat bread.
