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:

  • Use high-quality chickpeas. Look for chickpeas that are plump and have a smooth surface. Avoid chickpeas that are wrinkled or have blemishes.
  • Soak the chickpeas overnight. This will help to soften them and make them easier to digest. If you don't have time to soak the chickpeas overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the hummus. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Add tahini to the hummus. Tahini is a sesame seed paste that adds a rich, nutty flavor to the hummus.
  • Season the hummus with lemon juice, garlic, and salt. These ingredients will help to brighten the flavor of the hummus and make it more complex.
  • Serve the hummus with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers. Hummus is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways.

Conclusion:

Hummus is a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a food processor or blender, you can make a delicious hummus that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, try making hummus. You won't be disappointed!
