I just stumbled upon it when looking for a Hummus recipe using dried chickpeas. Looks like I found a gold mine here. I am excitedly waiting for my chickpeas to soak and can't wait until tomorrow. One question though when your recipe calls for Tahini do you mean the raw Tahini from the jar or the Tahini you make in your Tahini recipe? Seems like that would make a huge difference. I plan on trying your baba ganouj recipe as soon as I can buy an organic eggplant. Thanks again for your awesome website. I may never buy packaged hummus again. Shooky,

Boudreau - if you want to spice your hummus in a middle-eastern way, rather than in an "American" way, that's the way to do it: 1. don't add anything to the hummus itself. The extra flavors should come from the side dishes. 2. make green - or preferably - <a href="http://humus101.com/EN/2011/01/22/red-skhug-a-recipe-and-a-story/" rel="nofollow">RED schug</a>. You can dip your pita in it and you can put some directly ON the hummus while eating. 3. serve your hummus with falafel (here's the <a href="http://humus101.com/EN/2007/03/13/an-easy-falafel-recipe/" rel="nofollow">falafel recipe</a>). You can also spice up your falafel by adding ground dry chili, herbs such as mint, or a lot of sesame seeds. good luck! A.

I know I certainly do. I make hummus every week and try different combinations of ingredients. I actually just made a pink color hummus using one whole red pepper with pepperchini's which was delightful. What are some combinations, beside garlic and the original recipe that people use...

I plan on trying your hummus recipe, but just have 2 quick questions: 1) For the 1 cup of dry chickpeas, do you mean liquid cups or solid cups? 2) For the 1/2 cup of tahini, do you mean liquid cups or solid cups? Thanks in advance, Robert [ Shooky: ] I mean ~250ml cups. What matters the most is that you use the same cup for both so that the right proportion is kept. Shooky -

It took a few tries and now perfecto. this is the best hommade chumus i have everv tasted. The only thing i changed was the cooking method. That alton brown method you posted really did the trick.

I've recently gotten more into the whole "make it yourself" routine as I've become much more finicky about what's in my food and how it's prepared. Funny as the motivation is not that I have diabetes but that I don't trust restaurants to always use good, fresh ingredients in their food. I am more than determined to make my own hummus and hopefully falafel. I've started the process of cleaning the chickpeas and just realized that I do not have any baking soda. Is it absolutely necessary to have it for the overnight soak? Let me know! Hello!!!!

Because of a heart condition I have to watch my sodium intake, so I replace the salt with Mrs. Dash Garrlic & Herb seasoning. It is delicious, and makes the hummus completely salt free (excluding any naturally occuring in the beans, and Tahini.) Also, i have great results with King Star brand Tahini. I love this recipe!

It added a lot to hummus that was already wonderful. Stall is next to the men's public restroom, where street leading from Jaffa Gate dead ends into it. Closer to Wall than to Jaffa Gate. Any/all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I made a wonderful, tasty and very smooth hummus with them. Before I started living here, I was used to skim off the peels when cooking the chickpeas. This is of course much easier. I didn't notice any difference in the taste (but will still check once, making the hummus of peeled and unpeeled chickpeas) and the hummus just comes out great! What do you think of these chickpeas? Will they be as good (healthy), you think? Hello, I live in Chile and in every supermarket you can buy dried PEELED chickpeas. I made a wonderful, tasty and very smooth hummus with them.

Is this true? No one says anything about the water, so I always thought the warmer the water, the better.
