Hummus

Starting with canned garbanzo beans

Sorry for sideways pic: fuck phones

Garbanzos pureed

Adding a few tablespoons tahini & a couple cloves of garlic

Better color now with tahini

Olive oil added through lid while pureeing
Honestly, you can't add too much olive oil

Lots of cumin
Salt to taste

Juice of 1 lemon

yuck

you're supposed to strain and rinse the beans

Welp, these are organic & in BPA free can, so...

Proper consistency & taste has been achieved
This is going into the fridge for snacks, so I will not be making a pretty plate for you, co/ck/s.

So what? The liquid is still totally unneeded. It's a matter of texture. Organic/BPA has nothing to do with it.

3 tins of chick peas
3 tablespoons of tahini (unhulled)
juice of 3-4 lemons
tablespoon of ground chilli powder
handful of jalapenos
salt and olive oil to taste

That's a disturbing amount of cumin

It wasn't even enough! I added about that much again.
Also, this was a double can, so really 2 cans of beans.

Nah, you need the liquid.

welcome to the world of shit-tier flavorless spices.

i use a slow juicer to make hummus

it's the difference between blade and burr ground coffee. delightful

i forgot the garlic, add 2 or 3 cloves to taste

Cumin is definitely not flavorless. Indians eat so much of it that their BO smells like it

shit tier cumin is

aquafaba has egg white properties
in in canned beans it is the worst offender for tasting like a can

definitely does not belong in hummus

I was making a comment about the particular brand (or age) of the cumin being used here.

Cumin SHOULD be strongly flavorful. But most supermarket spices are shit-tier quality that require large amounts to be used. It's also possible that OP had it sitting around for a long time and it lost a lot of it's flavor.

I wasn't saying that ALL cumin was shitty, just the stuff that OP has.

Tell you what: I'll try plain water next time, we'll see how it goes.

OP here.
I buy a little jar of cumin about every 2 weeks, however, I do not grind my own.
This was Trader Joe's, so I dunno where that is on your quality scale.
Damned if I'm gonna go out of my way to buy top tier spices for my kid's after school snack.

I've never shopped at a Joe's so I can't comment on that. But given how much you needed to add in order to get the right flavor it's pretty clear it's shitty.

I like a lot...

DRAIN YOUR FUCKING BEANS YOU IDIOT.
