It is one of my favorite things to have as a dip. It is a Middle Eastern dish made from Garbanzo beans or Chick Peas. Either name works. I have bought it before, and made it before and it is really simple. I enjoyed it as a side dish when I had dinner with Grandpa Bob in the restaurant where Debbie works. Have you tried hummus? Do you like it? Have you ever made it?

mmmm I love that stuff GG!
I am loving all Indian food really!
I have never made it no, but I have had it in the resturant.
I love the nan bread too and the papadons from the clay ovens.
The spicier the better too for me.
No one here would like it I am sure in this house, except for my son..he loves all different things like myself. Glad you are getting to try the new foods, isn't it tasty GG?
I will look it up on how to make it!happythumbup
Happy myLotting my friend.. happy

I used to find onion na'an bread in our Sam's Wholesale Club, but that was years ago. Now you have me needing to look it up and make some, if possible. thumbup

Yes, I have made it in our blender, and I love it! I add a bit of garlic and parsley and other spices, it's delicious. Garbanzo beans are high in fiber too, so it's also a healty food. I haven't made this in awhile, so I think I'll make some tomorrow. Thanks for the idea!:O)


myLot reputation of 86/100. khayshenz (1093)   ranked 2,017 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

Ohhhh my bf and I love this stuff, but I haven't made it. I don't really know how. I'll look for a recipe online and play around with it. Maybe I'll start making my own instead of buying from Trader Joe's.

Any tips on what other kind of spices? I know garlic for sure (he loves garlic). But parsley, ain't that gonna make it green? Not really appetizing with that kind of look and texture, no?


myLot reputation of 85/100. clutterbug (821)   ranked 1,996 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

You can skip the parsley, just use your imagination with whatever you're craving. We even used a little spinach once, and it was very tasty. You could use a little canned carrots for sweetness and color, Good luck with the hummus!


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20241)   ranked 2 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

Yes, very healthy. I put olive oil and Tahini and lemon juice. Garlic and cumin and tumeric and after it was all done I stirred in some cilantro. All those herbs are healthy and the olive oil and tahini are healthy fats.

I love that stuff, and my husband makes awsome hummus. He makes a lot of other wonderful stuff too. He's the cook in the family, I'm only good for setting the room on fire. haha My Aunt makes it too, and they serve wonderful stuff at the greek restaurant not far from here. Now you've got me wanting some.:)


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20241)   ranked 2 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

I have not been fortunate enough to eat at a greek restaurant. Have some food for me.

I had hummus once. It was used for a dip on some kind of bread. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but I did. I made myself some couscous tonight. That and I sauteed myself some mushrooms to mix into it. It was pretty good. I just wish I could make tabouli like my Nana. I don't know how she does it, but I've never tasted anyone's tabouli half as good as hers. I went off on a side dish tangent didn't I? blush


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20241)   ranked 2 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

Keep on dishin it up Amber. w00t My sister makes fantastic tabouli, but I am the only one at my house who eats it. You have made me hungry, now.


myLot reputation of 96/100. AmbiePam (15263)   ranked 1,382 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

My Nana makes it especially for me. Only her and I like it, but that means more for us!: )


myLot reputation of 97/100. babystar1 (3159)   ranked 1,431 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

I was just wondering what tabouli is? do you have a recipe fo it?

I love hummus and buy or make it often, but hubby will not eat any. He likes Garbanzo beans whole, though, and especially in three bean salad, which around here usually ends up being 5 or 6 bean salad, as I like to put yellow and green string beans, pinto beans, kidney beans and whatever else happens to be available in mine.

My favorite hummus is the red pepper flavor, on a whole grain cracker with cucumbers and cheese. Mmmmmm.


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20241)   ranked 2 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

My hubby thinks whole chick peas are just about as tasty as rocks. He will eat some hummus. I crave it. I like to make assorted bean salads with whatever I can find as well. I often will go to our local scratch and dent store and get lots of different beans for salads. Reminds me, I need to do that really soon.We eat beans several times a week.

I've heard of it but never tried it.
It doesn't sound tasty with just chick peas...do you add something else to it?

Marsha


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20241)   ranked 2 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

I am told real hummus has to have tahini, which is a spread or butter made from sesame seeds. I put in olive oil, salt, lemon juice, garlic, tumeric, and cumin and sometimes other things. Some people like roasted red pepper, others like crushed black olives. Think of it as the Middle Eastern version of refried beans.


myLot reputation of 87/100. marsha32 (286)   ranked 2,097 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

in that case it sounds pretty good:)

I have heard of the name but that is about it. I really do not think I have ever tried it before though. I have never tried to make it either. I may give it a try sometime if it is available to me.


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20241)   ranked 2 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

Most everything is available in the grocery store. I have even seen tahini there.

i think it's not so good for rheumatism..
though it is delicious i suppose..
I've not tried it yet..


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20241)   ranked 2 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

That is strange, as most health food and natural healing people tell you that tumeric is a great treatment for arthritis, and cumin as well.That is why I put them both in my hummus.Olive oil is also supposed to be good for you.

HI GG, I have never eaten it. What else does it have in it?


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20241)   ranked 2 out of 11,196 in cooking  5 months ago

Lemon juice, herbs, spices, olive oil and tahini, which is a spread made from sesame seeds.
