Hummus (Garbanzo or Chickpea Dip)

Two of my grandparents were from Lebanon, thus I grew up eating and loving Middle Eastern food. This is how I make hummus these days. Note: A Nutribullet-kind of blender will yield a smoother hummus than a food processor will.

Hummus (Chickpea Dip) Hummus (Chickpea Dip)
A Lebanese friend taught me this recipe. I substituted Japanese nerigoma sesame paste for the tahini to make the preparations easier for myself since I live in Japan, but use what you have available!Although it takes more effort, it tastes better if you make this with cooked dry chickpeas instead of canned. Let the dip rest for several hours in the refrigerator before serving it to let the flavors settle in and round out the taste of the garlic. If you think "maybe it's not quite spicy enough" when you taste the dip right after it's made, it should become just right after having it sit for some time. Tahini (sesame paste) is hard to get in Japan, so I substituted in nerigoma sesame paste which is just a tad thicker in consistency. If you don't have nerigoma either, you can just try adding about a teaspoon of sesame oil. Recipe by nohunohu cookpad.japan -

Hummus Hummus
A classic recipe for hummus. Tastes better than anything store bought or restaurant made.Making great hummus involves a lot of blending in the food processor. In the following steps, you’ll see we take a few ingredients at a time and blend them very well before moving on to the next. The order of ingredients is also important for the best result.A lot of places use more cumin than this recipe, which is not something I prefer as a main flavor— feel free to add more or less for your tastes.Also, it has a great shelf life in the refrigerator, so I make a lot at a time. If you want to make less, just halve the ingredients. Kat -
Hummus Hummus
This is a modification of J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's Serious Eats recipe for hummus for our taste. It requires the use of a powerful blender to achieve the creamy texture of beans.The main modification is with the tahini recipe. We wanted more garlic and acidity in less tahini paste, and want a slightly larger kick of cumin. Yue Logy
