Tip

If chickpeas are a bit firm they will not make a smooth hummus. If tinned chickpeas are firm, cook them down in the brine from the tin for another 10-15mins.

    Made this using black sesame seed tahini. Vote of approval from husband, 20 yo grandson (who fancies himself as a hommus connossieur!) 13 yo grandson wants it on toast for breakfast. I loved it. Yes, a total success. Thank you for this recipe. Smile PS: looks a bit funny with the black sesame tahini but doesn't change the flavour.

  • Hummus.....hmmmm...

    Submitted by leelee74 on 7. November 2017 - 23:33.

    Hummus.....hmmmm

    I am a recent convert to hummus as I have only recently found one I liked (store bought), until now! This IS the best, creamiest, most delicious hummus I have ever eaten.

    I did did change a little (due to laziness) I only had a small lemon so I microplaned the whole zest, squeezed the lemon (pips went in too), added a squeeze of garlic from the tube one I had in the fridge. No honey, agave or tahini added but I did put in a teaspoon of ground cumin.

    I did did the cook down of the chickpeas which I would definitely do again.

    Thank you you for this delicious & healthy recipe 😁

    Delicious! I was a bit dubious about using the honey in it but after reading the comments I made it exactly as per the recipe. The honey and lemon peel really take it to a new level and I’ll definitely be making it again.

    Submitted by momoyeeyee on 3. May 2017 - 00:19.

    Made this to bring to a boat trip, everyone loved it and said it was REALLY REALLY good, and the recipe was asked for. I will be making this a staple in the household!

    I used 50ml of lemon juice (from 1.5 lemon) and 10ml of water, doubled the garlic and skipped the agave/honey. Used about half (or was it one?) teaspoon of salt. Used a microplane for the lemon zest (from half a lemon) as the zest is then really fine.

    Thank you for the recipe!

    Just when I though Hummus couldn't taste any better! I tried this receipe and yum, the honey and lemon add a lovely twist. I took this along to a Mum's get together and had everyone asking for the recipe. It was a real crowd pleaser.
