I appreciate your preference of ingredients in the hummus recipe.

Being a Classic Greek Dip it has its own disciplinarian perfection attached.

The Classic Greek dip calls in for the right consistency, which should be of the same texture as mashed potato.

Addition of garlic to hummus would reduce the bitterness in hummus, which sometimes comes when it is mashed and the traditional preparation involves proper mashing of the chick peas and not blending.

{Of course hummus gives us the flexibility of mixing and matching ingredients, yet I prefer the Classic one.

Hey jenjen,

I like your story… and you’ll find offensive content has a happy home at abstract gourmet :) Hummus/Hommos/Homos… its all good in my book, although I think i’ll pass on the veggie burgers.

Oh yummo, hummus has to be my favourite dip.
Your post reminded me of a incident while I was helping out at a conference last year. One of the food stalls had a sign saying- Vegie Burgers ‘homos’ included. I couldn’t stop laughing!
Hope no one found this story offensive…

My problem is always planning — I can never get my act in gear soon enough to do the overnight soak. It’s better to use the dried beans, though — so much less sodium. Still, the cans are superbly convenient.

Hey Ange,

Yeh I gotta admit that when it comes to beans and legumes, I am definitely a can man. Yet to move into the next phase of soaking stuff overnight… I have some more chickpeas to use up so I may have to make another version using cumin.

Hi Genie,

No worries at all, saw your site on Helen’s “Does my blog look good in this” post, and thought I needed to investigate your tahini free hummus version… Lovely site you have too :)

Ethel… if indeed that is your real name… I can not guarantee the calorie free nature of this blog… But I hope this post fills the void until I get around to writing another.

Matt,

Thanks for the link — much appreciated! You’re so right…making good hummus is so much about feel and personal preference. Going bit by bit and adding things until you get just the right consistency is definitely the way to go.

I’m enjoying your blog!
