How to make hummus by Bachar Haikal

Bachar Haikal owns two Lebanese restaurants in Melbourne's South East which has an enormous Jewish population. Almazett is his gourmet Lebanese restaurant. Manakish Levantine Bakery is his new cafe and the setting for a lesson on making hummus in the traditional Lebanese style.

Very nice, humble and honest person while explaining the recipe.

I have been looking for a humus recipe all over YT. This is by far the best one. By hand for the first time a clear ratio tahini/lemon and the recommendation to serve it warm . A real pro !

[@razorbladebyte]

The ratios vary by region, Syrians use more chickpeas than tahini, Egyptians tend to use more tahini, Israeli use equal parts chickpea and tahini while Palestinians tend to add a lot more lemon juice.

[@magspies]

Great that he explained tahini and lemon ratio the same! Going to try this way, thanks :)

[@justmeluvee6862]

Make Hummus Not War...👍🏼love that, thx!

[@charlesjensen7918]

Mr. Haikal: I made Your version of hummus today. I've made a lot of hummus in the past but Your hummus is sensational. The natural instead of creamy smooth is far superior in my opinion. I added a generous amount of Smokey Paprika and crushed chili pepper for a wee bite. Big Smiles CMJ 2018

[@svetlanakotenko-forte2435]

thank you very much for sharing this recipe, I've followed it and results are wonderful. What I liked most is that you have showed how to do it all by hand. It is not easy but way to tastier. Thanks again Bachar!

[@lorenadeisla2841]

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge :) and advice on how to enjoy the hummus. Love it!

[@crushedstone7448]

Thankyou so much. Shukran. Love from the UK.

[@miracleshappen4483]

Thank you! This is probably one of the healthiest recipe ever and it is also very nourishing. Perfect food for a vegan.

[@charlesjensen7918]

I think it's even healthier Ms. Happen, without the oil. CMJ

[@hunterzstew2532]

That looks delicious! Hummus is amazing! I love it

[@bjfreshy1746]

Great guy, humble and friendly. The hummus looks delicious :)

[@razagt1004]

Yummy n thanks for the recipe

[@dannyf4995]

I liked the video. A very kind person. I liked watching how he makes his "traditional Hummos", and I even added a "Like", although this is away far from what we are considering a traditional hummus or a "real" hummus. :-)

[@80dale]

Nice video, wonderful man.

[@vittoriaidara]

I love it :-)

[@charlesjensen7918]

Ain't nooo "Food Blender" in the Morroco desert folks. Fabulous! CMJ

[@agavai07]

I would have liked to see a quick demo of how it was soaked, cooked, and mashed.

[@johneli495]

[@bugisami]

The real thing!

[@whiteswan5799]

i'd like to make this hummus but I need a recipe for the first time around. can you give measurements to your ingredients?

[@ithila6712]

walnut oil is very good poured over the hummus sinstead of olive oil, for something different. Then i garnish with a sprinkle of zataar . I liked your presentation very much, you are very a very kind and wise man.I subscribed.

[@tonyhammam2661]

lol hummus with zaatar as we say in Lebanon tfihhh

[@Kalmanheyn]

How long do you cook the chickpeas for them do be mashed like that?

[@mybigfatitaliankitchen192]

Kalman hi, Thanks for your question. if you have a bicarb of soda to your cooking water then the chic peas can cook very quickly 30 to 40 minutes. They must be soaked over night first though. However long it takes, the chic peas must crush easily between two fingers when you press one of them to test. Only then are they soft enough to make a smooth hummus. Good luck

[@DanieleLeone-re9cv]

​​@@mybigfatitaliankitchen192do you peeal the skin of the chickpea before you mash them?

[@user-qv6gj8ut3t]

American hummus does
Not have tahini, hummus without tahini is like burger without the bun

[@lienbijs1205]

Delicious! Does anybody know the name of the pink vegetable?

[@trevorgraham9912]

More than likely pickled turnip. The coloring is provided by putting slices of beetroot into the pickling jar along with the turnip

[@lienbijs1205]

Thank you! I had to translate the word turnip into Dutch and I know what it is now. Just found recipes for that, going to try that too. Yesterday I made the hummus, the taste is very good but it is not as smooth as I wished.

[@lienbijs1205]

@Jeff Keeth Oh that would be great. Does anybody know the Arabic name of it? ( written phonetic) so I can ask the shopkeeper.

[@uicukie]

Never making hummus with the food processor again. Handmade is the way to go

[@drazmumme]

Its all about how you cook the hummus that is the secret and i have it :p

[@Mariam-qd9yf]

Gabi tall the secret formula!!!!

[@squiremuldoon5462]

With Love and just a tiny little bit of hate.

[@yohan.al2000]

cant wait for Dora the explorer movie I’ve heard a couple of tips about chickpeas one is to let them soak overnight in water and the other one is to boil

[@Madavoori]

What is tahini?

[@ariannaali8300]

Sesame seeds paste :)

[@craigg8519]

THANK YOU !!! have watched 3 videos & I still had that same question. Very Cool Video !!! Music And ALL !!! don't change a thing....

[@moonlightspark3402]

I hate supermarket hummus with a ton of preservation

[@charlesjensen7918]

Hate Mr. spark?

[@shuttlefeather]

Sodium sorbate, potassium benzoate, salt

[@sjcopwumlabtech4246]

Ya maybe the Lebanese didn't invent hummus but we sure damn well made it better. Mine is awesome if I do say so

[@R_mhs]

This is easy, I hate washing blender

[@ComfyTV]

The music has to go

[@unityoneproject2321]
