naw, peehole’s gpt this one right. store bought is crazy expensive, has a buncha crap in it and doesn’t taste great.
only thing i have to add is that using dry chickpeas is way better than canned for flavor as well as texture.
I make my own and hate store bought. That's not the point.
"Hummus SHOULD be like this and NOT like that."
Cool if you like traditional or if that's your preference or whatever... But people can put olive oil or peppers or beans or whatever they want.
Yeah you absolutely should put olive oil on top. Also what you can do is blend green chili with a bit of garlic & salt and a lot of olive oil. And then drown the hommos in it.
In the end I can’t stop anyone from doing weird things to their food like adding pesto to hommos or cream to carbonara sauce or making British food in general, but sometimes there’s a reason that people have been doing things in a certain way for a long time
i sure you can put avocado or cheese curds in your hummus if you wanna i guess. myself, i like to drop a few fresh jalapeños in there when im blendin it up.
you do you, internet fren. we’re all comrades here.
Jalapeño hummus is what got me hooked! 🤤
Thanks turdburglar!
Yes I agree, put the dry chickpeas to soak in water for at least 12h, ideally 24h. Change the water at least 2-3 times. Then boil the soaked chickpeas for 1-2h with a tablespoon of baking soda to make it soft faster. The chickpeas are ready when you can easily crush them with your hands.
Keep the water as you will need it during blending. Whenever the blender gets stuck at a tiny bit of the water until the paste has a smooth consistency. But never add more than absolutely necessary.
