I wanna make some home made hummus. Been buying it alot recently but I wonder how a homemade one would be, I imagine a lot better.
How do you guys usually make it? And do you add shit like the vinegar from the jalapeno jar or herbs and spices for flavour?

There are two ways that I do it but both require a food processor (I bought a little one at Target) The first way is to mix everything yourself, which means buying tahini paste, which can be difficult to find. Mix it with chick peas (garbanzo's) and add whatever flavor you wish. I like red pepper and garlic. The second is to buy a pre-made paste that consists of the tahini and the flavoring. Bush's Beans makes a decent one in a couple of different flavors. Either way, put all ingredients in the food processor and grind away until it reaches the desired consistency. It's really that simple..

Thanks

>put 1 clove of garlic in a blender, blitz it (or chop it)
>drain 1 can of chickpeas, dont worry about washing them. Should be about 1 1/2 cups worth
>put the chickpeas in the blender
>add a tablespoon of lemon juice, and some salt and pepper (good pinch of each)
>add a tablespoon of tahini (or peanut butter if you dont have tahini)
>blend the lot
>add a couple of tablespoons of oil if you want a smoother consitency
>scrape side of blender and blend until you get the consistency you want.
>adjust lemon juice, salt and pepper until its zingy and tasty!

Oh yeah I know it's simple, but I was hoping to get some tips on shit to add that not many have thought of before that make it amazing.

I don't have any tahini paste, not sure I can find some either. Can that be omitted or replaced with a subsitute?

Here's a pic of the Bush's Beans hummus paste...

As mentioned, you can try a quality peanut butter. I've never tried it though. As for ingredients, you can, literally, add anything that you like. Cucumbers, cilantro, lemon zest, eggplant, etc. The only limit is your imagination.

it's really that easy, and fucking cheap. chick peas are like a buck.

>tahini paste

you can not omit it.

Buy a tin of chickpeas or cook your own from dry.
Drain.
Put them into a bowl.
Mash them /with your hands/.
Grate or salt-paste some garlic and put it into the bowl.
Juice a lemon and put it into the bowl.
Add some olive oil to the bowl.
Add some tahini to the bowl.
>alternately, smooth peanut butter mixed with a little additional oil is a decent substitute, but not perfect by any stretch of the imagination
Add other ingredients you may like to adjust to your preferences such as fire-roasted tomatoes or peppers, chopped manzanilla olives (from a jar; if using, omit or reduce lemon juice), zest of lemon, herbs and/or spices, chilli paste, etc etc etc
Whip everything together with a very, very sturdy whisk or beater.
Adjust salt to taste, if/as necessary.
Plate up.
Top with X, Y and Z thing you like (chopped fire-roasted tomatoes or peppers, manzanilla olives etc etc etc).
Serve.

No food processor required.

You absolutely need a blender or food processor. I've tried doing it without and the results are unvaryingly shit.

Get a can of chick peas, garlic, some olive oil, a lemon, and a can of tahini. You can usually find the tahini in the ethnic aisle of your grocery store, look for middle eastern stuff.

Drain the chick peas but keep the water. Dump them into the blender, then add 1/4 cup tahini, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, pepper, 3-4 cloves of garlic, and juice the whole lemon into there. Blend until it's paste.

>dish that predates the discovery of electricity and invention of food processors requires electricity and a food processor
Oh yeah? Wow. Guess my filthy Lebcunt grandmother has been doing it wrong her entire life, huh?

or you use a pestle and mortar and stop being a daft cunt going on how a food processor is needed, lol.

also >canned chickpeas

this cultural appropriation is impressive

I'm sure it would be much easier to make if I had some sort of pestle or something, but most people these days don't have one of those and do have blenders. When I tried it I had to mash the fuckers in a bowl with the bottom of a glass. Did NOT turn out good.

My grandmother just mashed the chickpeas with her hands, between her fingers then whipped it with a very sturdy whisk, no mortar nor pestle required. That's how I do it, too. See

Humous.

Humus is the bits of dead plants and animals in soil.

Just stop.

It's Hummus

pls go

(hint) The better the olive oil the better the flavor of your hummus.

brought to you from the makers of convenient squeeze hummus in the bottle.

You and your grandmother are imbeciles.

pretty much the gold-standard for hummus, drained chickpeas and a shitton of tahini are major improvements over the shitty versions

>he can't whip mashed chickpeas!!!
>he's weaker than someone's grandmother!!!
Talk about bottom twink fuccboi, holy shit. I bet you even fart with a lisp. You must be the limp-wristed-est of all limp-wristed faggots of all time.
