You begin by first doing a google search for a basic recipe. Then, post that
recipe here and ask if anyone has any interesting variations on that recipe.

Tahini. That's ground sesame seed paste.
Blend together with the chick peas and add garlic, cumin, salt, or
whatever else you like, maybe parsley, lemon juice, curry powder.

Thanks. I'm fine with being ignored. I'd be upset if I weren't showing
up in the first place, and I've been having other troubles with my
system so that was a possibility.

Ignored? Did you expect applause after you posted it?

So far, it seems everyone else saw the OP's message for what it was: An
attempt to get others to lift a finger when he/she/it was too lazy to do so.

I wouldn't be brave enough to open the lid and then test it...

I make the Rumanian version, no tahini.
Cooked chickpeas, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon
juice, a bit of water, all processed together. Taste, add more of
whatever of the ingredients you feel it lacks. Tastes better next day.

I'd agree. The store bought stuff doesn't have anything added to it to
preserve it and it sits there a while. I would have no qualms trying it
and if find eating it.

I would say it's integral to babaganoush but not necessarily
hummous as much.

When I make hummus, I sometimes use peanut butter and a few drops of
sesame oil (the dark kind for seasoning fried rice).

An interesting substitute for tahini. Thanks for the tip.

I suspect the lemon juice adds enough acidity to make the stuff keep. As
long as you don't contaminate it, it's good for longer than one might think.

Yes, you're right. I originally meant added preservatives, but the lemon
juice in the recipe would add its own natural preservative assist.

Once again, we are in agreement on the most important issues in the

I use cashew butter from Fresh Market instead of tahini. To me, tahini
is bitter and I like the hummus much better with cashew. I thin it
with a little oil if necessary. This was suggested by a neighbor from
Greece who says it is a common substitution where he is from.

Drain them, mash them with sesame paste/tahini and some olive oil to
taste. Add mashed fresh garlic and salt to taste. Serve with a little
olive oil drizzled on top and some pine nuts for a nice option.

That sounds simple enough... if you want to make it yourself. Me?
Never. I'll buy it if I want it, which is never (for home eating)
although I snarf it down when I'm someplace else.

Love the stuff; forgot to mention a little lemon juice goes in there but
it is a simple recipe. Used to buy it all the time in London where it is
an inexpensive staple. Around here it seems to be a 'gourmet' item along
with taramasalata with the consequent vast increase in price.

That lemon juice is essential to hummus?
