Directions
Hummus (Or Humus) – Authentic, This is the BEST hummus / humus recipe I’ve ever made It tastes just like the hummus that is served at Middle Eastern restaurants and has had all my friends raving I’ve tried lots of hummus recipes in my quest for the best and I believe this is the one It was given to my by a work colleague who said she’s always inundated for the recipe after people have tried it One important note – don’t substitute canned for dried chickpeas- it won’t work! I did this the first time I made it and it was too salty It’s a little bit of extra effort/preparation – but using dried chickpeas guarantees the right combination of flavours The amounts below make large serving of the dip – you can easily halve or quarter the amounts and still get a delicious result , I love this recipe, but use a little less lemon juice , Outstanding recipe!!, Had to search for dried garbanzos Found from Palouse Farms out of WA from Amazon As a short cut use the pressure cooker w’ 1 cup beans to 3 cups water for 1 hour
Also ordered tahini from Amazon to me it tastes like peanut butter, I would have no hesitation in substituting it in the recipe
