I just have a basic one off a can of chickpeas I make all the time. 1 can drained, 2 cloves garlic (or more to taste), 1/2 t salt, 2 T oil, juice of 1 lemon and 1/2 t cayenne pepper (which I've never used cos I don't have any!).Process and chill.Loving it at the moment in a freshly made pita with coleslaw.

This is how I make it too! with no cayenne OR tahini. Served on still warm freshly baked bread, maybe with some tomatoes and parsley. Or with a bag of chips. Star rating: a million.

I've never put tahini in, it's pretty expensive and I don't notice any difference.Haven't bought hummus in years.Grow my own garlic too.
Preparation: Preheat oven to 350. Toast sesame seeds for 5-10 minutes, tossing the seeds frequently with a spatula. Do not allow to brown. Cool for 20 minutes.
Pour sesame seeds into food processor and add oil. Blend for 2 minutes. Check for consistency. The goal is a thick, yet pourable texture. Add more oil and blend until desired consistency.
Yield: 4 cups
Storing Tahini Tahini should be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container. It will keep for up to 3 months.

Black Bean Hummus Although black beans are not usually included in Middle Eastern cooking, they make such a nice alternative to chickpeas in hummus. Black beans are also very healthy and high in anti-oxidants.
Prep Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients: 1 can black beans, drained (15 oz) 1/4 cup tahini 1 tablespoon garlic, minced 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 tablespoon lime juice 1/2 teaspoon cumin
Preparation: In a food processor, process all ingredients until smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, add half a teaspoon olive oil and a half teaspoon lime juice. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator in airtight container.
You can modify this recipe slightly by using twice the amount of lime juice and adding a pinch of cayenne

Use nut butter in place of tahini if you don't keep tahini normally. Peanut butter works fine. Omitting altogether is not as nice IMHO

Plain hummus can be jazzed up with a slug of soya sauce, Lea & Perrins, or spices as your taste buds allow.

My recipe- 600g canned chickpeas 3 cloves garlic 100ml olive oil 2T tahini paste 1t cumin Juice of lemon Process then add 60ml water I now use less tahini and more lemon as I find this quantity makes it a bit peanut buttery for my taste.I have tried both dried and canned chickpeas and you get a far smoother product with the canned peas.If you want a more rustic hummus use the dried peas but when soaking add a large pinch of baking soda as it is meant to soften the peas (soaked for 24hrs)

I made some houmous without oil last week, just as an experiment - I added lots of lemon juice and it was fine.I make it differently every time, sometimes add roasted red peppers and different spices, more/less Tahini - never made it without Tahini.Love it.

Thanks for your recipe.Here's the basic version of the one we've just eaten on toast:
3 - 4 c cooked chickpeas 3/4 c mashed pumpkin 3/4 c olive oil 3 TB lemon juice 2 TB peanut butter 4 1/2 tsp brown sugar 3 tsp cumin 2 cloves garlic, peeled, minced 3/4 tsp salt 1 TB fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Process (mash & beat or mouli) ingredients until smooth and creamy. If hummus is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency.

My hummus is very nice without tahini, don't feel it necessary to add it at all if I love it the way it is.The recipe didn't have it anyway and it was from a Graigs or Delmaine can.
Loving the recipes.Can't believe ppl pay $4.69 for a 200 g pottle when I just scoffed that amount on 3 pieces of toast.

I replace oil with water. It works just as well and is better for you.
