Best 2 Moms Hummus Recipes
MY MOM'S HUMMUS
This doesn't get cooked, so the garlic does not mellow. I've scaled back the amount I usually use so as to be slightly more reasonable, but feel free to adjust it further one way or the other to suit your own tastes. Also, if you've never made hummus, it's not the most appealing substance when it's in progress, but it really is good when it's done. And one more note: if, like me, you don't like olives, include them anyway. They do make a flavour difference, but they get completely hidden once everything's all processed and blended.

Tips for Making the Best Hummus
- Use dried chickpeas. Canned chickpeas are a convenient option, but dried chickpeas will give you a creamier, more flavorful hummus.
- Soak the chickpeas overnight. This will help them to cook more evenly and will also make them easier to digest.
- Cook the chickpeas until they are very soft. The chickpeas should be so soft that they can be easily mashed with a fork.
- Use a food processor or blender to make the hummus. This will give you a smooth, creamy texture.
- Add tahini to taste. Tahini is a sesame seed paste that gives hummus its characteristic flavor.
- Add lemon juice to taste. Lemon juice brightens the flavor of hummus and helps to balance out the richness of the tahini.
- Add garlic to taste. Garlic adds a savory flavor to hummus.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Salt and pepper will help to enhance the flavor of the hummus.
- Garnish with paprika or olive oil. Paprika or olive oil adds a pop of color and flavor to hummus.
