I think I will make hummus / myLot

I keep saying I want to make hummus, but do not get around to it. Well, I have drained the canned chickpeas and just need to put the ingredients into the food processor. It will be easy. Then, I think I will go to bed. Hummus is a good snack for me.

I love hummus, I peel the chickpeas and this makes a big difference in the final taste. The tahini is easy to made starting from sesame seeds.

I have had it with the peeled chickpeas, but I do not usually take the time.

@GardenGerty I like the texture more if I peel the chickpeas.

We love hummus, but yah, I always buy it premade

. I made it once - and as it required a teeny bit of tahini (the sesame paste), I bought the smallest jar I could, but most of it all went to waste. I really should tackle making it again

@sallypup Oh my gosh, I often do have sesame seeds on hand (for Japanese cooking) . . . I didn't even think to do that. Is it straight seeds - do you add anything to it? Thank you!!

@much2say I experiment when I cook. If you don't like how the seeds are grinding in the blender add a dollop of oil and see what happens.

@much2say If you don't mind a bit of crunch you can just mix in whole sesame seeds instead of tahini. Or if you have a blender, try rough mashing the sesame in there.

I'm like that, too. I'm always putting one thing or another off.

Hummus is tasty. My husband's version is very garlicky.

I put termieric and cumin in it, but should do garlic as well. Keeps bugs and virus's away.

@sallypup I maybe just forgot because I just make it from memory. I may go stir some garlic into this batch.

If you already have the ingredients ready then it should be super easy. I often intend to make some but starting with dried chickpeas takes a long time.

I just start with the canned. My sister is given lots of cans of chickpeas in some senior disbursements and will not use them. They come live in my pantry.
