My dad always made hummus when I was a kid (he's from the Middle East) and now I make it on a regular basis. We don't use cumin at all, the flavor is just too strong. Salt, garlic, plain yogurt, lemon juice, some olive oil/water to thin, tahini, and drained garbanzo beans. Great video though. Very easy stuff to make.
Just made it, wife loves it, tastes like what you would get in a good middle eastern restaurant. Won’t be buying store bought anymore, thank you for the vid.
Humus is being made in my home for many many years. Caned garbanzo beans (with the water), tehini to taste, Lebanon tehiniis very good,, lemon juice and olive oil both to taste. Turn the food pros or on and it is done in few seconds.
It's 20 to 1 in the morning, the first day back to work after the Christmas holidays, I have to work at 6am and thanks to this video I'm making hummus now.
I followed the recipe as accurately as possible and it was SOOOOO GOOD! It was much better than store bought and was so easy to make too. Now i feel dumb for even buying hummus from the store. Thanks for this recipe. 😊
This is THE BEST hummus recipe. EVER. I watch a few cooking shows and their chefs keep drizzling in more and more olive oil. That makes hummus so slimy and oily. Hummus only needs the bit you suggest and the water makes it better. On a side note, have you seen the hummus recipes that add avocado? I'd love to see how you test the chick pea and avocado blend. Probably would need some lemon/lime to prevent avocado browning.
Got my first food processor and wanted to try my hand at making some hummus. Luckily I found YOUR recipe, because it's absolutely amazing! We buy tubs of Sabra now and then just to have in the fridge. My mother is also a hummus fan. I made my first batch following your recipe (including using my own tahini which I also made from your recipe) and my wife loved it, so I made another batch and took it to my mom. She raved about it! In fact, a few weeks later she said she caught herself wanting to eat it with a spoon. She also said that after her and my dad had finished the batch I made, they bought a tub of hummus from the store, and it just didn't cut it anymore. Mine was better. I've also started adding some cayenne (just a few good shakes) and some red pepper flakes (around a half teaspoon) to some batches, for spicy hummus. You have to watch it because you CAN make it too spicy, but a little spice is nice... sometimes. Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I'm not the hummus king, supplying tubs of tasty, pasty goodness to my mom, my sister and our friends. Best hummus ever, and actually quite easy to make.
Thank you SO much. I’ve tried for some long to make good homemade houmus and haven’t been successful. This is everything I’ve dreamed of AND more! It’s tastes so yummy snd creamy- even better than shop bought. Thank you 🙏
I made this humous today & OMG....it is SO DELICIOUS! I've been making humous for years usually following the same recipe, but never got the creaminess this recipe gives & it's all due to processing the tahini + lemon juice first. That is the key. Thank you Inspired Taste. This recipe now replaces my old one.
I don't know why I've never tried making it myself before but I'm glad I did! It tastes so much more "alive" and fresh than store bought, plus it works out a lot cheaper too. I am officially converted! Yummy 😍
Wow! I've been making my own hummus for years after working in the middle east. I could never get it creamy, but adding water (doh! How could I not have thought of that?!) gave it the texture and brought out the flavor. Thank you!!!
Inspired taste, I just made the Hummus and it was easy and delicious. You gave great instructions and demonstration. I did not know it was this easy. This was my first and definitely not my last time making Hummus. The only thing I did was add a little more salt and a hot pepper. Thank you very much.
This recipe works so well even for an amateur like me! Really well explained, I didn’t need to modify the recipe in any way and the hummus tasted so delicious 🤤 (not too salty, just a nice balance of savoury and freshness from the lemon)
I made way too much and can't stop eating this. Took me a while to make the tahini with my nutribullet but it worked eventually. Thank you for posting all of this
I love hummus. I've been enjoying it for many, many years but today was the first time I made it myself. I used your recipe and with a tweak or two, (a tad more cumin and a TON more garlic), and my hubby and I were in heaven!! I'm thrilled to find this easy recipe and I'll never buy hummus from a store again. Thank you so much.
The recipe is pretty good. The only thing you should know is that grinding the tahini like that ruins it, because tahini once heated loses its taste, and the friction in the food processor heats it up. You should process the hummus beans with any liquids and then mix everything else by hand for the best texture and taste. Wait for the beans to cool quite a bit if you cooked them yourself. Also, the secret behind a truly great hummus paste is the quality of the beans and tahini. Canned beans will never be amazing, you should get fresh beans. There are many different kinds of hummus beans, and the smaller ones work best for hummus. As far as tahini, you should get a middle eastern import, and the best quality you can find. a great tahini can make all the difference! It's usually a ratio of 1-0.5 to 1-1 between hummus and tahini in the paste, so the tahini makes up much of the taste.
Okay, first of all - this is the best hummus I have ever tasted. I have made 3 (count 'em three) batches and it is just THAT GOOD! Thank you. I add 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika to give it a nice, smoky taste. It takes me about a week to finish the tub. I like how the tahini recipe makes enough for two batches. I shared this video and recipe with family and friends.
I followed your recipe and found that after the hummus had aged in the fridge for about two days, the flavors had blended really well--far superior to the first day's batch. The tahini recipe is great! However, I added smoked paprika... and just 1/2 tsp. was enuf that I can faintly pick up on "smoky" but not over-powering. The smoothness of the mixture is fantastic! No more graininess like commercial stuff! Thanks for the effort you made in preparing this video--and yes, I have subscribed!
Thank you very much for sharing your hummus recipe. I am delightfully grateful and happy that you did. I made it for lunch and demolished it with some baked flatbread and tin of Parmesan sundried tomato dip oh was it heaven. It was soo easy to make and tasted fresh and delicious. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I am definitely making this today!!! I love hummus, and I am excited that now, I won't have to spend as much at the store to have it! YaY!!!
Absolutely LOVED your recipe! Yum. I only needed 1 Tbsp of water to get the creamy consistancy I wanted. I might use just a little bit less of the cumin next time as well, but this was absolutely the BEST hummus I've ever tasted. Removing the shells from the garbanzo beans was well worth it. Thanks!
Made it today and I can say it's the best hummus recipe I've eaten. Never get back to store bought again. Thank you for a wonderful home made hummus recipe.
super recipe -- (my wife says it is better than any available in the shops, and she is a mad hummus-maniac) -- I have made it several times exactly as explained by you - cumin included (it isn't too strong in this dose) --- once or twice I added an extra clove of garlic, and I also made it with roasted/grilled red bell peppers --- and your home-made tahini also beats anything in the shops (the light toasting does magic to it) -- now I am going to have a good look on your site for what else you are doing that I could copy ... thanks.
Thanks for the tahini paste recipes because I want to make homemade hummus sauce for my friends 2moro dinner and you are life savers. Thank you so much guys. Hope I see your complicated more recipes I want to learn from you and my first tahini sauce and hummus, by 2moro. And I have never fail whatever I tried before so see you very soon!!🥰🥰
I’ve tried a few different methods and yours is the closest to what I like to eat. I’m making it for the third time now. Finding a hummus recipe is like finding a chili recipe. Everyone does it a little differently. I prefer a Lebanese style hummus and this gets me close to that.
I will never buy store bought again ! I just made this I cannot believe how delicious it is. Store bought tastes yucky compared to this hummus. Thanks for sharing this great recipe. Love you channel !
Since store-bought hummus around here is not good, I was looking for a good recipe online and yours is definitely a winner! I made it today and it was very tasty! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Made it today, and it totally works. Taste and texture are perfect. Whipping the tahini and lemon first really does give it a great texture. I added a bit more olive oil and some Takii umami powder (mushroom extract) for flavour. Thanks.
WoW! That is the most amazing hummus I have ever made. I will make it in a food processor next time though. My Ninja with the regular smoothie container wasn't the best option but it still tasted amazing!
Fantastic, simple recipe. Made it 2x, 1st was good but this time had the perfect tahini/lemon/salt/oil balance! BTW if you use dry chickpeas remember to add a little more salt as the canned ones are cured a bit.
Brilliant version of hummus, even my boyfriend loves it and he’s not usually a fan, doubled up on recipe so had enough for three days, might try the homemade tahini Recipe next time...2 large lemons, 2 cans of drained peas, I put the sumac inside the hummus because I love it’s lemony flavour. Forgot to chop the garlic first so boyfriend noticed there was a big Clove in there, so had to chop it & put it back in, what a mistake! Was really nice with hummus chips, spring onions, mixed peppers & cucumber crudités & a really good appetiser whilst waiting for dinner to cook. I used cayenne for sprinkles. I imagine this would be a good party dish for hungry guests to have with Fruit cocktails
The dry chickpeas can be soaked in water overnight then cooked in fresh water with baking soda until soft, then rinsed before using it in the chickpea hummus recipe. Great recipe and great presentation. Thanks.
THIS IS AN AMAZING LY SPOT ON RECIPE. Super easy, super cheap and just as good or better than the local Greek restaurant I made it last week. everyone loved it, even picky eating children i am making more this weekend. thanks Adam and Joanne
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed our recipe! Would you mind taking a moment to leave a review in the comment section of our blog? Your positive feedback can encourage others to try our recipes, too. Thank you!
This is amazing! I watched your Tahini recipe, then watched this one. So much better than my last batch. The only thing I change is I save the liquid from the can of chickpeas. It's called Aquafaba, and I use that instead of the water to thin it out. Really elevates the wow factor!
Great channel! I was a sous chef in my younger days, and I forgot half of what I learned. I just have turn on your channel and there it is. Keep going!
This is great and u made it twice so far. First time in a food processor and 2nd time in a high powered blender. For some reason, it didn't work out near as well in the blender and I ended up adding a little too much water which made it more fluffy than the first time. Next time I may blend everything except the chickpeas in the blender then move it all to the food processor to see how that works.
I tried your method and broadly stuck to the ingredients and method but I only have a milkshake maker machine and I thought it was unlike the version from the supermarket stuffed with all sorts of additives and I enjoyed it - I may have put a tiny bit too much garlic but I enjoyed whole meal pitta with feta and homemade salad and it was very pleasant. A nice dish for those of us not eating meat for a short period like myself and nutritious - thank you for uploading. I’m a subscriber also.
Is there something wrong with your site? I have been trying to get the recipe so I can print it and it won't open. This is, BY FAR, the BEST hummus recipe I've ever had!
I bought my food processor 26 years ago to make my own baby food. Now I use to make grown up food for the family. Tonight I am going to use to make this hummus recipe for daughter who is coming to visit tomorrow.
