Recipe for Hummus?
I love hummus, but at $4 for a small container, I figure its got to be cheaper to make it myself. Has anyone made their own hummus? Is it difficult? Does anyone have a recipe?
Thx!

Re: Recipe for Hummus?
I always make my own, its easy.
I don't follow a recipe, I just make it to taste.
I use:
Tins of chick peas (rinsed)
Tahini Paste
Olive Oil
Water
Lemon Juice
Garlic
And I bung it all into the food processor and/or blender and blend it to my own taste. I made some last night and I had no lemon juice, so I used limes, and it still was delish!

Re: Recipe for Hummus?
tahini is in the organic section. in stop and shop it was near the fruits and vegetables by the salad dressings
yes you can probably make hummus cheaper in the long run, but the only tahini paste i found was $6.00

Re: Recipe for Hummus?
Though I love tahini, I leave the home made hummus including it to my sisters, and I make a different recipe myself - helps mix things up as we are always having hummus! It's in an awesome cookbook I have geared toward college kids, so the recipes are budget-friendly and require more common appliances assuming you're in college and don't have much.
Garlicy Lemon Hummus
Place 3 peeled garlic cloves in a blender with 2 15-oz cans of drained chickpeas, the juice of one lemon, 1/2 cup olive oil, and salt & pepper to taste. Blend until it is all combined - more lemon or oil can be added to taste.

This is the recipe I use too...comes out great every time. I just made it the other day. Sometimes I throw in a bit of red pepper powder to give it kick.

Same thing...I just add a little more garlic and a pinch of cumin.

I actually pick it up in the local mediterranean takeout place, they charge me 85 cents for a little cup of it.
