what is your favourite brand of store-bought hummus?
by Anonymous
I don’t really like store-bought hummus. Something about the consistency seems weird. If I do buy some though, I get the organic type my grocery store produces (not a specific brand). And unlike most people, my least favorite brand is Sabra.
Hey, how do you make hummus?
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (cooked from dry; or canned, drained)
- 3 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Cover and blend until pureed.
That’s a very basic recipe for a plain/garlic-flavored hummus. You can also add a few tablespoons of water or the liquid from the chick pea can to help in the blending process to make it smoother. I hope this works for you! Homemade hummus is really so much better than the store-bought type :)
I have more recipes here.
You probably have not had any hummus in Greece because hummus is not Greek, it's Middle Eastern. That's a common mistake though, lots of people go to Greece expecting to see hummus because brands like Athenos and Sabra purposely mislead their customers to believe that it comes from somewhere more "white friendly." It's also served in US Greek restaurants because it's cheap and goes well with the food, but it's certainly not authentic.
Yes, I actually did know it’s Middle Eastern, not Greek, but I was still hoping to find some hummus that tastes better than what I can get in Maine! c:
