Directions
Hummus ( Hummis Bi Tahina ), Posted for ZaarWorldTours: In Arabic Hummus simply means chickpea This recipe for Humus is more correctly called hummis bi tahina and is a tradional dip from the Middle East, where it is served as part of the Mezze The Mezze is the equivalent of the french hors d’ oeuvre, a collection of savoury nibbles as a lead-up to the Main Course Time posted is for using dried (soaked) chick peas that need boiling etc if you use canned chick peas then cooking time is 30 minutes Tahini is a paste made from freshly ground sesame seeds REGION: Middle East , First time I’ve made Hummus – I’m glad I spelled it HUMMIS in the search!! I found it really easy to make, I’ll never buy supermarket hummus again!! I’m feeling really pleased because I also made my own tahini as I couldn’t get it locally (okay, I live in the sticks ) 4 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds to 1 teaspoon of Sesame Oil, 250ml Warm Water, Salt & Pepper – blitz the whole lot in a blender Thank you Kiwidutch for your recipe , This was a good base recipe for hummus used dried beans, soaked overnight then cooked in the pressure cooker I did end up doubling the garlic, cayenne, and cumin, and used quite a bit of salt because I didn’t use canned beans The next day we added some finely diced roasted red bell pepper – yum! This was even better the next day after the flavors have blended Thanks!
