How To Make Authentic Lebanese Hummus 

Glad that you liked my recipes dear💕 let me know if you have any questions

@@mahaslebanesecuisine will adding baking soda create any health issue? Which food processor are you using?

@@DiyaLalDileepLal no there is no problem with adding the baking soda actually it will makes it smoother and I’m using the Cuisineart commercial food processor but any food processor will do the job. I’d love to see how it came out for you send me a picture

how much baking soda did you add to the water when cooking the garbanzo beans?

I’d say it adds some sodium

❤️ thank you for sharing. I’m sorry for you loss.

Glad it was helpful! Yes the technique is so helpful.

Wow that is very interesting I will have to try that some time. Thank you for sharing that tip!

Interesting because I’ve always added my lemon juice to my garlic because it takes away that strong garlic taste but I didn’t know that related to fridge raider garlic taste cause I’ve always used the lemon on the garlic

I am confused by the term "tahini sauce". Is this just tahini or actual tahini sauce made with tahini, garlic, lemon, salt etc? Many thanks in advance or your reply! Also if it is the latter could you recommend a recipe?

@@jameshealy6700 Tahini Sauce, at least what I use for my humus, is nothing more than ground toasted sesame seeds. Nothing else. I do add a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and salt in the process of turning those seeds into a thick paste. I know people add all sorts of other things ( lemon juice, cumin, etc). I don’t. I add all the extra stuff when I make my humus. I only make tahini sauce so that I make humus but I know it’s used for other culinary recipes and customs and it can be adjusted using different spices. What I do is buy only RAW organic sesame seeds (they're white in color). Then I use a dry shallow (no oil) pan and I toast them on medium heat, masking sure I stir the seeds constantly until they’re toasted just enough but not burned (golden). DO NOT over toast them! Low to medium heat only. Take them off the stove once they get uniformly golden. They will continue to cook as they cool down. Immediately once you take the pan off the stove, pour the seeds into a cool bowl and let the seeds completely cool down! COMPLETELY! I toast about 2 cups of seeds at the time. Sounds like a lot but it’s really not. I find that is what my food processor likes to spin. Then once they're nice and toasted, I put them in a food processor and I turn them into a paste. They need some help because the oil inside the seeds isn’t enough to turn everything into a paste. So I add about 1/4 of a cup of olive oil or a bit more if needed, but enough to make sure the blades don’t spin inside a dry mass. I let them mix in there for about 2 minutes or so until it all turned into a runny paste. I store the remaining tahini sauce in a jar that’s fitted with a screw-down lid The oil and solids will separate inside the jar, especially when not used often. Be patient and mix it all together well with each use. It stores well and for a fairly long time but I use mine within a month or maybe a bit longer. If the jar is airtight, I think you can store it for a few months at the time. Oils break down and oxidize when exposed to air (oxygen) so the sooner you use it, the better. Depending of how much humus I make, I use about 2 full tablespoons of tahini sauce. To give you an idea of quantity, each time I make humus I use 2 cans of garbanzo beans (each can is 15.5oz (439 g)). Two full tablespoons of tahini sauce is what I like to my taste. You can use more if you want but it will come through and overpower the taste of the garbanzo bean a bit stronger (it’ll taste like toasted sesame seeds:-). Because my tahini sauce already contains olive oil, I add less olive oil to my humus. I usually add maybe another tablespoon of olive oil in addition to my 2 tablespoons of tahini sauce but it’s all relative to how much humus you’re making and how much olive oil you added to your tahini sauce. Experimentation is key here. That’s it! One more thing I do which I find it critical to getting SMOOTH, buttery delicious humus! Whether I use freshly boiled (after I soak the beans overnight) or canned garbanzo beans, I put the beans into a pot of fresh cold water and I try to get as much of the husk (skin) that’s around each bean, as possible by massaging the beans between my fingers! I then skim off the skins as they float to the top, as I empty the water into the sink. I refill the pot with cold water, massage the beans between my fingers again and then try to skim off as many skins as possible and I repeat the process, until there’re maybe a few left. It’s a bit time consuming but I find this step very important. If you boil the beans (after you soaked them), you can add a little bit of Sodium Bicarbonate to the water and that will make the skins come off easier. I don’t like anything in my water when I boil the beans so I never used that method. But you can try it! I just use cold water and the method I described above. Good luck!
