]]> There is nothing wrong with store-bought hummus, but it rarely compares with the homemade version of this Middle Eastern spread. The latter is simple and quick to make while allowing you to customize it to your preferences.

However, in order to have the best homemade hummus, there are certain mistakes you have to avoid during the cooking process. Check them out below.

Trying to Go Over-the-Top

It can be tempting to put as many different ingredients in your hummus as possible. However, this way, you will be one step closer to ruining the entire batch. Keep it simple and use just the basic ingredients and a few additions to get the taste right.

Opting for Canned Chickpeas

Canned chickpeas are a convenient option, but they won’t get your hummus where you want it to be. Instead of a canned version, go for fresh chickpeas that you can cook yourself. This will make all the difference in the taste.

Not Using Good Quality Tahini

Tahini also plays an important role in the taste of hummus. Don’t opt for the cheap and low-quality variety and instead go for the good stuff.

Skipping the Baking Soda

If you don’t want grainy-looking hummus, add a teaspoon of baking soda when cooking the chickpeas. This will soften their usually thick skin and will allow you to get an even puree.

Letting the Chickpeas go Cold

Pureeing cold chickpeas will frequently result in an uneven consistency. To achieve a smooth texture all the way through, always puree chickpeas while they are warm.

]]> Although it originated in the Middle East, the rest of the world has long known the joys of hummus, a delicious savory dish made of chickpeas often used as a dip or spread. It’s easy to find in a store, but there’s a special pleasure in making your own, offering both satisfaction and the ability to customize your hummus to your liking. If you want to make hummus at home, here are some tips you can follow that will ensure your results turn out great.

Overcook Your Chickpeas

Most of the time, when you cook beans, you want to avoid cooking them too long in order to preserve their structure. But with hummus, you want to cook your chickpeas until they’re super tender, soft, and creamy. This will help you get the best consistency.

Use (Good) Tahini

A lot of (Western) hummus recipes call blending the chickpeas with olive oil, but the traditional way is to blend with tahini, a toasted sesame seed paste, which has just as much fat and flavor as olive oil, if not more. So go ahead and go the tahini route, making sure to get pure, authentic sesame seed tahini.
