homemade hummus is so much better and extremely easy to make in a food processor. only downside is it lasts a week tops.

>>15638936
What do you like to put in it? Gf uses garbanzo beans, Tahiti sauce, garlic, blend til creamy, season w olive oil and paprika. Simple and timeless

>>15638955
chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, some water, and whatever spices you like is always the base. i love adding roast sweet potatoes, cumin and sumac. topping with basil. so good. store bought hummus is a meme.

>>15638934
I made liver pate today.
Thats kind of like hummus

just to to your local middle eastern grocery store and buy the freshly made stuff. it's 1/4th the price and made daily. you can even custom order specific flavors and they will make it on the spot for less money than sabra premade garbage

>>15638934
I absolutely despise the smell you get when you cook chickpeas for hours. It makes me retch.
I buy hummus

yes but i fucking hate getting all the skin off

If you eat it more than once or twice a month its definitely worth it to make your own. Dried chickpeas are dirt cheap, especially if you buy in bulk at indian/arab shops.

I used to buy it but if you have a food processor and a pressure cooker you can make it perfect so easily and so fast. Only downside is having to let it cool overnight in the fridge.

but buying it is bullshit since it can cost upwards of 6+ for a pittance of hummus. But if you spend maybe 10 or 15 bucks buying all the ingredients (excluding spices prices since you more than likely already have an entire pantry full) to make hummus at home you can get like quadruple the volume. Infact I want to make some now, maybe ill go buy all the stuff today.

>Tahiti sauce

>>15638934
I buy it from my local Turk

Really good stuff.

>>15640299
>what are canned chickpeas?

>>15638934
>do you buy your hummus or make it?

I don't care for hummus but I love "Steve's Mediterranean Chef" garlic toom, which can be bought at Meijers and tastes exactly like the stuff served in Arab restaurants.

>your local middle eastern grocery store
Where the fuck do you live

Our farmers market has three booths selling humus, pita, etc. several flavors and tasty.

>>15641635
>toom and coom

I have never had hummus

>>15641720
Me neither and am in no rush to try it.

>>15641690
Germany ;)

it's pretty damn nice. unique texture and not too much of a strong flavor at all if you're a sauce kind of guy.
good flexibility from chips to actual dishes and sandwiches. even with pizza it's pretty damn nice if you're running low on other sauces.
you should give it a try today. doesn't have to be name brand either, since it can get pretty fucking expensive for just beans and a little oil.

>>15641972
>you should give it a try today
It's 7pm, wtf. I don't eat food this late at night

>>15641026
fucking kek i had to reread

I make my own using canned chickpeas. Adding a handful of fresh basil while blending makes it extra delicious.

>>15641690
in a small city that isn't in the middle of bumfuck
fuck I've been to small cities in wisconsin that had a middle eastern grocery stores, they're fucking everywhere

>>15641135
Less good is what they are

>>15638934
Buy the mini hummus’s they are nice for snacking with carrots and are fairly healthy not great but better than chips or shit like that

What do you eat your hummus with? I get bored of just eating it plain or as a dip for pitta bread.

>>15642853
I usually dip these in it

>>15642853
Schnitzel and chips. Sometimes with grilled meat. I don't like eating it alone with pita

I'd never by anything from that ZOG owned company. I just make it myself, it's easy and way tastier.

P.s. protip: put your canned garbanzo beans in a pot of cold water and move your hands through them, brushing/rubbing them together gently. All of the cellulose skins fall off and float to the top. Remove all skins and use for compost, your hummus will be so much more smooth and creamy. Also buy a jar/tub of lebanese tahini from amazon (red lid), it's way cheaper than the stores and tastes great!

>>15638955
>paprika
it's supposed to be SUMAC, baka. Way better flavor. Paprika doesn't really pair well with garbanzo beans and tahini.

>>15642853
I dip my meats into it, broiled chicken, grilled kebabs, pan fried mince meat kebabs, it all tastes great dipped in hummus.

>>15642853
It's good when you mix it with rice

>>15642853
carrot and celery sticks, or spread on flatbread for sandwiches, or drag some grilled chicken through it next to some rice

>>15638936
>only downside is it lasts a week tops.
Mine lasts for 12 hour tops, I always eat all of it even when I want to keep some for the next day.

>>15642853
I dip tortilla chips in it if I’m feeling like a fatty, sliced cucumbers or bell peppers if I’m trying to be healthier.

>>15638955
I just the standard shit. 2 cans of garbanzo beans, quarter cup or more of tahini, maybe a quarter cup of olive oil, 4-5 garlic cloves I make into a paste, one juiced lemon, and salt and a little bit of paprika. Measurements are eyeballed. Also I add two ice cubes when it's blending in the food processor.
>>15640964
You don't even need to take the skins off, it's not that big a deal.

>>15641731
If you do try it make sure to get the garbanzo bean stuff not the chick pea garbage.

i usually make it myself but we occasionally buy a big bucket of it to have on hand

1 can(skins removed if you want it extra creamy)
80g+ of tahini
30g lemon juice
60g olive oil
2 garlic cloves
smoky paprika, a pinch of cumin
if i need to loosen it up i add some of the aquafaba, and i rarely need to add extra salt since its made with canned

>>15643642
dude its the same thing, literally the same species of legume. any difference in taste is something to do with the companies recipe or ingredient quality

>>15641976
well i posted that at 12pm, and if you can't eat this late night idk how you'll ever have a late night diner with a woman

>>15642592
Better than Sabra, though. A reasonable compromise.

>>15638934
The joo fears the home cook. Or was it just afraid of the oven? I’m confused.

>>15638934
I don't eat hummus cause I'm not a hipster dipshit or Lebanese

i cant get tahini sauce

>>15644810
I've never had Sabra.
Premade isn't that bad. There's one with pine nuts as a topping and it's pretty alright. The one topped with za'atar is good too.
I just hate the smell of cooking hummus. Even in hummus restaurants I don't stay inside for long, because when I get a whiff of that I lose all my appetite.
By the way you ever tried eating hummus by using a slice of onion as a scoop? So much better than bread

>>15638934
jew company fyi

>>15645752

Tahini is just ground up sesame seeds.

>>15642853
Try raw onion, cut it into little medallions so that's it's a spoon shape

>>15638934
i dont eat nasty ethnic food and neither should you.

>>15646471

>how you'll ever have a late night diner with a woman
On a weekend probably.
I try not to eat late in the evening on a week night because it fucks with my sleeping.
If I have fuck all to do the next day I can eat whenever

>>15647404
