| Hummus |
Hummus - so easy, so quick, so delicious, and ever so healthy. This was our assignment this week in
French Fridays With Dorie. To make hummus, you put chickpeas. garlic, lemon juice, cumin, salt, pepper, and tahini in a food process. As the ingredients are processing you add some reserved chickpea liquid until the hummus has a nice thick texture. That's it. I told you it was easy.
I served the hummus as an afternoon snack with some pita chips. It was a hit. The kids loved it. When my college kid came home in the evening, he asked if I had any hummus to go with the pita chips. I proudly told him yes, I made some this morning:)
The hummus will last 3 days in the fridge.
You can find this wonderful recipe on page 19 in
"Around My French Table".

ReplyDeleteGeraldine, oh, this looks delicious - I am glad that you and your family liked this so much - this recipe marked my first 2hummus making" and the taste testers seemed happy around here as well.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
...Got any hummus? "Yes. I made some this morning." Awesome! :) Have a great w/e.
ReplyDeleteGeri…How cool to be able to tell you son you made hummus this morning! I’m sure he was quite impressed! Your hummus looks delicious! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow funny that your son asked for the hummus and you could make it magically appear! Lucky boy! It looks delicious. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you were very proud to be able to offer your college student homemade hummus. That's very cute. I've always heard of people making homemade hummus before and I always wondered why bother because it is so easy to buy good stuff at the store. Little did I know that it was SO easy! I will definitely be making the homemade version again.
ReplyDeleteIsn´t it great when something you just made is welcomed so enthusiastically? It looks delicious and pita chips are the perfect way to serve it. Have a great weekend Geraldine!
ReplyDeleteI love that feeling when someone asks for something and you can say, 'actually I do have some!'
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel so accomplished!
You dish looks great!
If my kids asked about hummus, I think I'd pass out ;) Glad you all enjoyed!!!
ReplyDeleteI didnt have my daughter try this, since she isn't too interested in "spread-able" items yet but how great to have your kids really enjoy it now too!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I liked this recipe, but didn't love it. But my family didn't seem to mind it at all.
ReplyDeleteNice to be able to impress the family with something homemade when they expect it from the store!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed this and that it worked out well.
ReplyDeleteI love hummus and this was so easy! Glad you and your family enjoyed it too.
ReplyDeleteI hope these kiddos realize how lucky they are to have Mom's who whip up these culinary concoctions :) Regardless, I am also pleased when I am able to tell them what the current "Dorie Food" is and my kids are ALWAYS lining up to try whatever it is. (Not sure if that is because I don't do enough the rest of the week and they are desperate ???)
ReplyDeleteGreat job and I am going to make some more of this healthy, quick and easy dish this week. Before Creme Brulee holiday season hits again.......
this was an easy one, wasn't it? it's so great to have those thrown in, at least once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI loved how easy this was also! Your hummus looks great, glad it was enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteYea for food processors that make things so easy! Yum :-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this with pita chips too! Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove your hummus Post but I actually came looking for your apple tart. I think your kids must have liked your hummus so much that you re-made that again this week. We all liked the Crispy, Crackly Apple Tart so I hope you give it a try sometime. Missing your Post.
