]]>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 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.
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.
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.

]]>Here is a collection of underutilized culinary spices that don’t get enough love, but that can turn your food from drab to fabulous.
If you aren’t Spanish, Hungarian, or Portuguese, chances are that you don’t often use paprika. The reality, however, is that paprika is a fantastically fragrant and flavorful spice that can be used in barbecue rubs and to add a dash of flavor to fish and meat. Smoked, mild, and hot paprika all have their own uses and can brighten up all kinds of dishes.
Oui, oui, pass me the tarragon! Popular in French cooking, this delicate herb packs a punch. Don’t use too much when you’re cooking, but if you know how to moderate its use, you’ll find that tarragon adds a wonderful bittersweet component to tomato and vinegar sauces as well as oven-baked fish.
A favorite in Mexican, Indian, and Middle Eastern cooking, cumin adds a savory, smoky flavor to dishes in small doses. If you like to add a little bit of spice and excitement to your dishes but you aren’t a big fan of spiciness, cumin is a great compromise.
