ive never tried hummus - am i missing something??

Yes, a lot and if i can make it then it then it can't be hard

I came to it late in my life. For some reason, it did not look appealing and gave it a miss to my utter regret. Cheap as hell, protein rich and healthy. Not to mention taste excellent with various middle eastern breads, plain thin biscuits. Excellent dip.

any you could recommend.......i do like a dip with my crackers and pringles tbh

i'm sure you can find it at the UK supermarkets, probably most places these days in fact although can't imagine it's as tasty as a freshly made batch, just don't overdo the garlic

In my experience the prepared stuff is not nearly as nice as home made but try @Arrowfoot s suggestion.
Very simple with a can of chick peas and ingredients as suggested above into a blender.

A teaspoonful of Hummus stirred into a bowl of soup makes it extra tasty 👍

I started making my own after I picked up a large jar of tahini for pennies on yellow sticker many years ago. Never bought any since then. First (knowingly) had hummus on my 13th birthday and I've loved it ever since - that was home made by a Turkish Cypriot mate of my dad's, along with the pitta breads that went with it.

Now if anyone's got a good recipe for falafel, I'd be a very happy girl.

falafel count me in !!!

i've been spoilt with my usual monthly visits to Israel over the last 10yrs, much reduced recently and as such i'm missing my Med sea cuisine hit.

I have made my own i the past, but not for a while, I might have another go, inspired by this thread. I do think it needs tahini. I do regularly do me own flat breads (and other breads) which go down well. its hard to beat fresh from the over bread.

on the subject of ready made, I like this stuff, but it is very smooth, so maybe not for those of you who like it rough

soften a chopped shallot & a clove of garlic in frying pan.
then mix it with:

• drained washed large can chickpies
• 1 tsp each of cumin and ground coridander

Potato mash to rich consitency and then add

• handful of chopped parley
• an egg
• pinch of S&P

mix and squish into balls and shallow fry until crisp and golden

I've tried the Sabra-branded hummus and didn't think much of it.

Dunno if anyone watches "Eat Well for Less" but they did a blind taste test on hummus (including the Sabra), and the winner was the one from Lidl.

1st time I recall having hummus was in Israel, early 80s.
I was taken to a small restaurant and had a mix of 'stuff' with what must have been pitta bread of some sort..
I recall it being wonderful and I have never found anything to replicate that experience.

I am going for the record here. The most boring post in cyclechat. So here goes.

Hummus just means chickpeas. The dip being referred to here, the name of the recipe, is actually hummus bi tahini.
