Hummus from Dried Chickpeas image

When I was on WIC I had dried chickpeas rather than canned so I had to adapt the hummus recipe. This basic recipe can be varied by adding black olives, roasted garlic, red peppers, or other ingredients -- just look at the packaged hummus in the deli for inspiration. You can even substitute peanut butter for the more expensive, and sometimes difficult to find, tahini for a budget-friendly variation with a different flavor that some people prefer. It makes a big batch that can be frozen in handy quanities. Best made the day before, but I can never keep my family out of it that long.

Time 45m

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb dried garbanzo beans, soaked overnight
1 cup tahini
3/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
6 -8 garlic cloves, peeled
1 -2 tablespoon salt, to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring chickpeas to boiling then simmer about 1/2 hour until tender.
  • Drain chickpeas, reserving liquid. Let stand until cool enough to handle. (Using warm to hot chickpeas makes it possible to process a softer texture that will then stiffen to a nice, spreadable paste).
  • Process in blender or food processor in 2-3 batches according to the size/capability of your equipment. Use enough of the chickpea cooking liquid to get a texture like soft peanut butter.
  • Mix the batches together in a large bowl.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. (If you need more garlic return a half batch to the blender, process it smooth, and stir back into the rest).
  • Pack in freezer containers of an appropriate size for your household.
  • Tip -- This makes a nice hostess gift when attractively packaged.
  • Tip -- Tahini often separates in the can or jar. Rather than trying to mix it in the can then measure it just put the whole can/jar into the blender, whip it up, and pour back the excess.

This hummus is the best I've ever had. It's so smooth and creamy, and the flavor is perfect. I love that it's made with dried chickpeas, because it gives it a more intense flavor than hummus made with canned chickpeas.
