Gorilla Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Great stuff. You will need: A blender: the best investment I ever made! 100ml cold water (pour this into blender first: if you put the chick peas in first you make it hard on your blender)juice of 1 lemon1 garlic clove, finely chopped/crushed200g chick peas (I buy them ready to eat: glass jar rather than tin)1 tbsp tahini 1 tbsp olive oil Blend the ingredients together. If your blender has trouble blending, you can give it a hand: unplug your blender and use a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients up a bit. Give it a final whizz and you're ready to go. Great served with salad and pitta bread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I've also made hummus with sprouted garbanzo beans instead of cooked/canned beans. It IS good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlegirlbunny Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Interesting you put cold water in the blender first - sounds like a good idea. Ultra simple bean spread (can be used like hummus) Put the following in a blender Can of beans (butter beans work well)Balsamic vinegar (about a tablespoon)Half teaspoon of sugar Olive oil - guess the more you add, the better it tastes Pinch of iodised salt and ground black pepper Adding a small chilli really gives it some kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 That sounds good too. Yeah, I've actually found it mixes even better if you add the chick peas like 50g at a time with an extra drop of water each time : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Has anyone ever had any other kind of spread using other kinds of beans? I'm pondering making my own hummus, but I like black beans and lentils too and thought they might be good as a spread as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also used black eyed beans (which are ok, but not great - they usually need some decent flavouring), butter beans and kidney beans (both make excellent spreads).

Metalbabe Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I just cooked my boca patty with hummus...chopped it into pieces and added it to my salad. VERY DELICIOUS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pondering making my own hummus, but I like black beans and lentils too and thought they might be good as a spread as well.I like to take black beans and blend them up with some soy/rice/almond milk(unsweetened), and add some salsa. Kind of a good bean dip/spread for burritos or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
