  • This hummus recipe is simple, and the results are perfectly smooth and creamy. Here's the real coup: Most from-scratch hummus recipes involve simmering the chickpeas for hours, but with a simple Genius trick, Ottolenghi and Tamimi's is done in a fraction of that time.

    I was SO SKEPTICAL when I first watched this. Then I followed your recipe step by step, I even went to the middle eastern grocery store to buy Lebanon-imported tahini. It turned out amazing and I didn’t have to remove any of the skin! This is hands down the best recipe I’ve ever tried!!! The only thing different I did was roasted my garlic in the oven until it was soft and mushy, then I added in 2 tsp of that instead of minced garlic. I added a little extra more lemon juice as well, but a little less tahini. So so so silky smooth, everyone needs to go make this now!

    I tried this recipe last night - with a healthy dose of skepticism. My husband and I took the first bite wondering what we needed to tweak 'for the next time'. One bite - blank look, second bite, blank look, third bite, 'it's pretty fucking good, right?' 'YES! IT IS!'
    The hummus' flavours fully bloom after 6 hours - but even before that, there really weren't any changes we wanted to make to it. We live in Dubai - this city is lousy with some of the best hummus in the world. After this recipe, we will never be ordering hummus again.

    I actually made this a week ago, before this video was out. I have researched Yotam and Sami's work. This is by far the best Hummus that I have had. It was very easy to make and well worth the tiny effort. It truly is way better than store bought, including Sabra. I do like the Sabra too, but it still doesn't compare for my taste. Make sure to use quality Tahini and olive oil. Enjoy.

    Another note...if you put the cooked chick peas into a bowl of water, covering by an inch or more and rub them between your hands, the skins will loosen, come off and float to the top. With only a little bit of effort, this will eliminate almost all the skins. Adding the baking soda can do some strange things to flavor and consistency that are not necessarily desirable.

    Baking soda always gives chickpeas an unpleasant smell and taste. You can smell it in your whole kitchen when you're boiling them. The water gets pretty dark too. Some people don't taste it in the final product so if that's you, go ahead and make it this way.

    If you soak the chickpeas AND SPROUT THEM, the peel comes off naturally during simmering and you can skim them off the top with other been foam.
    Ever just use the ENTIRE LEMON (zest, pith, pulp/juice, seeds) sits the entire lemon is edible, nutrient-rich and flavourful? That way you don’t spill any of the juice.... ....
    How much GARLIC would you say is too much? A whole bulb?
    How about LENTILS varieties instead of garbonzos/chickpeas?
    Thoughts on using ICE CUBES to keep blender from cooking hummus with heat build up without diluting flavour?

    There is a disgusting amount of tahini in this recipe which will make it much too heavy, regardless of how "fluffy" she suggests. Also, if you add 1/4 the amount of tahini and add 2 Tbps of olive oil whilst in the food processor instead of afterwards, it will remain emulsified until your guests have finished the dish.

      I don't even use tahini in my homemade hummus. I just throw in 1/2 cup of raw sesame seeds and 2 tbspoons either olive or toasted sesame oil.

    You are a brave cook, but believe me as a Norwegian who studied in Beirut- Lebanon for two years, i was so fortunate to learn how to make hummus the Lebanese way, not from some Ottolenghi guy. You made two mistakes, the way you used the garlic, the way you got rid of the cooked water and the fact that you didn’t use cumin etc.. allow me to suggest you learn how to make hummus from the native people who invented this delicious food not an Ottolenghi guy who uses titles as Jerusalem to get himself the credit for what Palestinians and other Middle-Eastern countries eat and feast on... you ought to ask the real recipe from a Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian not some Israeli of Polish, Ukrainian, German background who didn’t even know what hummus was until they came to Palestine. I was myself, quite ignorant about the wonders of Lebanese gastronomy until I discovered first hand when studying in Beirut.

      Falafelpump rosh I’m aware that the co-writer is half Palestine and half “Israeli”. Both writers grew up in Jerusalem. Hummus is an Arab dish. Therefore if someone wants to make it authentically they should make it as an Arab would. The most traditional hummus originated in the Levantine which is Syria and Lebanon. Educate yourself.

      Falafelpump rosh I also appreciate that Fjord actually studied the cultural background of the food they are cooking rather than cooking based off of a recipe that was made by a non-Arab cook. It’s like attempting to make an authentic Italian pasta dish with a recipe made by an American.

      Falafelpump rosh again Samir was raised in “Israel”. I am not saying he makes it wrong I am saying it is less authentic than the method Fjord is commenting about.

      @noellehadid4018 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Falafelpump rosh From your google search it says “likely” originated in Egypt. I am speaking about traditional hummus, that we all eat today, it is made in the Levant.

    That just seems so expensive. Tahini is not cheap. You can make it with a lot less tahini,, or you could grind the sesame seeds yourself. altho a cup would be a major time investment. So, ya baby not a cup of the expensive ingredient. With this recipe, you definitely just want to buy it. it is way less expensive.

    Better not to put garlic in the hummus because chickpeas don't have strong taste or flavour you will only taste garlic rather then the chickpeas!!

    when search Ottolenghi's bio you will find the he was born in Jerusalem from Italian and German background, then when you go on, you discover that the Palestinian Sami Tamimi is an Arab born in by chance in his home land..... cheap, so cheap.
