Does anyone here know how to make hummas (it’s an Arab dish and I think it’s like ground chick peas and maybe a little bit of cayenne pepper and some other stuff). It’s mushy and like a cream color and it tastes so good with roti.
Re: Hummas Recipe?
you throw a couple of cans of chickpeas into your blender, squeeze in some fresh lemon juice, salt, throw in some whole cloves of garlic just a couple, a teaspoon or so of tahini (u dont get the flavour without it), add lots of olive oil and blend away. adjust ingredients after you've whizzed it - youll be able to tell what it needs. i think the cayenne pepper is just used for garnish. not in the actual dish.

Re: Hummas Recipe?
^ thanks, pal.
catwoman, what's tahini?
Re: Hummas Recipe?
sesame seed paste. you should find it in your grocery store, if not check a speciality food store or health shop.
Re: Hummas Recipe?
oh poo, i was gonna try to make it tonight. i don't think we have that stuff at home.
i guess i'll make it some other time. man, i'm really craving that stuff, though. :(
Re: Hummas Recipe?
its the simplest thing on earth to make - will take u all of 5 minutes, so go buy some tahini.
the other similar arab version is baba ganoush - where you roast eggplants and add the inside - in place of chickpeas. but that takes longer.
Re: Hummas Recipe?
kids don't like eggplant. =\ ewww
this recipe orpheus gave me says i have to boil the chickpeas in water for 60 minutes.
Re: Hummas Recipe?
thats if the chickpeas are kacha. if you get the tinned ones theyre already cooked, so i suggest u get those. coz all u have to do is open the tins, drain the water out and throw them into the blender :)
Re: Hummas Recipe?
oooo i see.
have you ever tried it with parathaa? i haven't, but i'm thinking it'll taste realllyyy good.
Re: Hummas Recipe?
paratha .. lol no ... i use it as a spread on bread or just with plain pita .... i dont think its meant to be eaten with parathas :p
Re: Hummas Recipe?
yes i know but it'll taste good i just know it.
i've tried it with pita bread. my pal is morrocan and her mom makes it. yum :>
Re: Hummas Recipe?
apni pal sey kyun nahi recipe pooch li 
Re: Hummas Recipe?
Because then she'll realize that the only reason I ever go over to her house is to eat her mom's food. Like if I call her and ask her the recipe for hummas and then SUDDENLY just stop going over to her house I think she'll catch on. She's stupid, but she'll catch on...

Re: Hummas Recipe?
hey phatima, be careful with the tahini, use just a tiny bit, you absolutely need it for this recipe, but the flavour can be very overwhelming. start off with 1/4 tsp or so for a tin of chickpeas, and adjust it later if needed.
