Did someone make the hummus or was it store bought? The reason I ask is that the resemblance between the two does not exist.

SomeoNE on this board I believe posted a hummus recipe.  I am not a big fan of hummus, ain't bad but not something get excited over.  However the recipe was fabulous.

It was RPS, and I think I will make it again.

Homemade...  Not the taste but the texture is what got me.   Same as peas and lima beans.

Thank you for the compliment!

I was so proud of my successful search I decided to cut paste RPS recipe.  As soon as my taste buds come back from this latest round of bronchitis I am gonna make some more.  Maybe in time for our free community dinner at church on Christmas day!

Ingredients

 

Two 15.5 ounce cans chickpeas, drained and liquid reserved

6 Cloves peeled garlic (If the cloves are small, use more!)

3 Tbs. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Tbs. Cumin

1 tps. Kosher Salt

2 Tbs. Tahini paste plus 1 Tbs. oil

Juice of 1 to 2 lemons

 

Method

 

Put the garlic and olive oil in the food processor and process until the garlic is chopped fine. Add the chickpeas and process until the mixture begins to clog. Add the cumin, salt, juice from one lemon, the tahini and oil, and half of the reserved liquid from the peas. Process until the mixture is smooth (may take several minutes). Taste and decide if it needs the juice from the next lemon.

I can do without plain hummus—just never been a fan of chickpeas for starters. But, the Sabra roasted red pepper kind from the store is really good.

That is what my daughter buys.

I also like their roasted garlic hummus. Very good on pita chips.

Aldi stores have a 4 pack tray of hummus  that is really good. The pint size tubs are too much of one flavor for me.
