Storebought tastes "chemical-y" to me now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-503157 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 12:26:46 +0000 Tidybee 503157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only use Goya chickpeas. DH has mastered the balance of flavors but it does take some time and patience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-503105 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 12:00:58 +0000 nana87 503105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we tried once but the only tahini we could find was kind of gross, it made the hummus kind of paste-y and dry. but, we make white bean dip frequently (it's always a huge hit at parties!): canned white/cannelini beans, olive oil, lemon juice, and whatever herbs we have lying around. we usually add garlic too--roasted garlic is amazing in it, last time dh forgot to roast and put raw garlic in and it was a little too sharp, so we added some pesto he'd made beforehand and it was amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-503059 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 11:45:24 +0000 regberadaisy 503059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: oh no I meant the prepared hummus </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-502849 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 10:41:48 +0000 Maysprout 502849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: The dry beans don't need refrigerated and they'll be with dry stuff in the grocery store. They can last several months dry. Once they're been rehydrated they only last a couple days. But they do freeze pretty well once they're rehydrated if you realize you're not going to have time to make the hummus.</p> <p>I agree with the others adding different beans is also tasty. We love black bean hummus and also use dry beans for that and they cook up the same as chickpeas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-502736 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 10:13:01 +0000 regberadaisy 502736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: thanks! I'll look there!</p> <p>How long does it usually keep refrigerated? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-502491 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 07:24:12 +0000 Arden 502491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make it all the time, with canned chickpeas. I use the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. I think that's it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-502486 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 07:20:27 +0000 Happygal 502486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just made some last night! I used white beans (cannelini) for variation. I bought tahini dressing, so it already had lemon juice and garlic in it. Made things very easy!</p> <p>I just read on Smitten Kitchen that the secret to great hummus is getting the skin of chickpeas. She pops each chickpea out of that thin shell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-502408 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 00:24:26 +0000 Maysprout 502408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: The grocery stores around here keep them in the 'international' food isle with mexican food. I don't go to any special store, they're in Weis and Giant and all them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-502324 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 22:31:52 +0000 Mrs. J 502324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't yet, but one of my student gave me her mom's family recipe that I need to try! It tasted delicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-502323 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 22:30:40 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 502323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We totally just use the cheap store-brand canned ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-502313 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 22:16:44 +0000 regberadaisy 502313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: where do you get dried chick peas??</p> <p>@o0olibelulao0o: that's a great idea to use different beans to get some different nutrients in it! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-502306 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 22:05:10 +0000 o0olibelulao0o 502306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just use canned organic garbanzo beans... Eden organic is great. It's super easy, but I get smoother hummus if I take the "skin" off of the beans.</p> <p>Otherwise just some beans, garlic, lemon and olive oil in a food processor (you can add Tahini, but I can never really tell the difference when I do) with your favorite mix in (my favorite is olives, but roasted red peppers are good, spinach and artichoke, salsa... the options are endless).</p> <p>ETA: You can also use different beans as well, white beans (like navy beans) work great as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-502304 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 22:02:48 +0000 Maysprout 502304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. We get the dried chick peas and soak them over night and then give them a boil until they're a bit soft, not too long. </p> <p>Here's a diff method<br /> <a href="http://www.frugallivingnw.com/frugal-homemaking/cooking-dried-garbanzo-beans-making-homemade-hummus/" rel="nofollow">http://www.frugallivingnw.com/frugal-homemaking/cooking-dried-garbanzo-beans-making-homemade-hummus/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-own-hummus#post-502285 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 21:49:47 +0000 regberadaisy 502285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M LOVES hummus but it's not that cheap and I'd rather make it myself. I know it's not too hard but the part that befuddles me is what kind of chick peas to use!</p> <p>Do you use canned chick peas? Frozen? Where do you even find fresh chick peas/garbanzo beans?? </p>
