]]> 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.

]]> Store-bought hummus is often described as being boring, industrial, and flavorless. It’s easy to see why. Sometimes, companies only add chickpeas, a little bit of tahini, and almost nothing else to spice up the flavor of their hummus.

However, if you don’t have time to make your own hummus and want to use a store-bought variety, that doesn’t mean that you have to suffer through terrible hummus. Here are three things to add to make it taste delicious. 

Lemon Juice

Lemon juice is a key component of any delicious hummus creation, and you should definitely add a little bit to the store-bought variety to add tanginess. If not, the hummus ends up being bland.

Olive Oil

While most store-bought varieties of hummus contain some olive oil, they usually do not contain enough to give it the consistency that it should have. Add a tablespoon or so more to each batch, and your hummus will be much smoother.

Paprika

Any respectable hummus will be served with paprika, and this is an ingredient that store-bought hummus doesn’t usually contain. Just a few sprinkles of sweet paprika on top of your hummus can make all the difference in terms of its flavor.

Cestujem za jedlom. Objavujem stále nové miesta a píšem o nich na profile @tomasbomba 👈 Začni ma sledovať. Myšlienkou včerajšieho obeda bolo zjesť niečo ľahšie 🤔 (po tom všetkom, čo som posledné dni mal- veď sleduj môj foodtrip 📍 v Prahe ). . A tak som rýchlo ráno browsoval vo svojich zdrojoch, ktoré mám na Prahu a narazil som… @paprika_bistroandbar 😋Hummus +falafel. Konečne niečo bezmäsité, zdravšie, ľahšie. . Falafel bol menej zrnitý, skôr jemný – čo mi úplne vyhovuje. A hummus tiež úplne jemný krémový. Bolo k tomu niekoľko omáčok (mango curry, koriander čili, tahini) samozrejmosť je aj za’ atar. . Plus… pozri storky z večerného programu 🤙⚽.
