Please wait...
All this talk about beans reminds me that I haven't made hummus in a long
time. When I go out for milk and brain-altering chemicals later I must remember
to pick up some garbanzos.
Make sure you get the dried Chickpeas/garbanzo soak and cook them like the real low sodium man you are.
We've made hummos from dried chick peas. Add tchina, a lot of lemon juice,
garlic, salt. I can't remember what else. In the end we decided it wasn't
tasty and gave up soaking our own dried beans
tchinaI searched this word and without the usual "Did you mean...'Tahini'" the Tahini results came up.
I think it is all how you make it. We have a large Middle-Eastern community here. You can always find great
hummus, baba ghanoush, Tabbouleh, stuffed grape leaves, Fal Kibbie, Falafel but I still enjoy making my own.
Sorry, I did mean tahini. We make our own baba ghanoush too, but since I don't
like eggplant in general, I don't eat it, but I'm told by people who do usually
like it that it is quite good. We put the eggplant directly on the stove top
on a low flame, yes it gets messy and needs cleaning afterwards, and after
its proerly burnt up we take the cooked insides and drop it into the blender
and add whatever to it. Actually my husband makes it and I don't even know
if he adds anything to it and if so, what. But he tells me that cooking it
directly on fire is a family secret of how it comes out so good.
Hubby's right...tho you can wrap it in tinfoil first; that avoids the drippy mess.
As to what the adds are... I usually only add a ton of garlic, some ginger, and a bit of lime or lemon juice. Blend...and voila. numm.....
omfg I just made the best hummus *ever*
Must remember to keep giant stockpiles of tahini and chickpeas in teh house
and to consume more of it before imbibing cocktail type substances .... *whee*

Glad you had a good hummus! I never thought to pair it with vodka. Ig, you're
older than me, aren't you? I thought I'm too old for vodka, stuff gives me
a stomach ache.
I said pair, not mix ... as in, I had myself a nice cocktail thinking that
I'd eaten enough hummus to not have an empty stomach ... I was wrong. :)
I once ate home made hummus and triscuits and only hummus and trisuits for a 24 hour period. It just worked out
that way for a few reasons.
Fiber. Lots and lots of fiber.
