If you freeze the chickpeas after you have drained them (before you put them in the blender, just overnight) it makes the hummus SUPER creamy and smooth. I don’t know why, it just does.
I'm ready for people to start talking about vitamins and fiber, something that isn't always intuitive, especially when poor and unable to make everything from scratch several times a day. You can live off of fast food and get enough protein.
Dear Kiki & Hannah – Hi 👋 👋; welcome Hannah! Yes, tahini is wicked expensive. To add flavor & a bit more protein just substitute peanut butter for that tahini. It’s a 1:1 swap & I would recommend smooth PButter, but you do you. It’s a great sub and as I said earlier, you’re adding more protein to your hummus. Remember you deserve yummy food, you deserve healthy options, and we love YOU 🥰💖💕💕💖
If anyone is curious about more chickpea recipes, crispy roasted chickpeas can be made sweet or savory, and they give the same experience as those super round small popcorns that you get in kettle corn

ok, but youre missing the spices, pretty accessible, cumin, garlic, cayenne. use your heart when it comes to seasoning, black pepper is also a nice touch, & not needed, but if you have it and dont want the humus to be too watery but need the sourness, you can always throw in some sumac. granted if you dont have the cumin & cayenne the humus would still taste ok, but it really doesnt take many spices anyway, so theyre considered core flavors to the dip, even without the tahini. also some ice water helps with emulsification regardless of weather theres tahini in there, only a few teaspoons though, you dont want it too watery.
also if you are making tahini dip as its own thing, basically the same ingredients as the humus dip, (salt, pepper, cumin, garlic, optional sprinkle of cayenne) make it 1st, then dont clean out your blender & use the residual tahini dip stuck to the pot as the tahini in the chickpea dip.
if you dont have chickpeas, white beans also work well, though the end product wi'll be a bit softer/looser, so keep liquids in mind when subbing the beans
If you're really needing to pinch pennies, it should be possible to obtain dried chickpeas at an even cheaper rate than canned. They just rely on you soaking then the night before and then washing them off, if I remember right. I don't mean the downplay the executive function and prior planning this takes, but if you can get into the habit and/or set reminders, you may be able to save a LOT by buying and storing dried chickpeas in bulk.

HI HANNAH
THANK YOU HANNAH
You misspoke. It's one bulb of garlic, not one clove!

Thank you, Hannah and Kiki
How did it never occur to me hummus would be so easy to make?

It's a good pasta sauce as well.

Wonderful thing to say at the end, very inspiring
Oh my goodness, I love this. I can even add jarlic if I want the garlicky flavor of my favorite hummus-es.
Hi Hannah!
Honestly knowing egg replacements is good for anyone right now
Y'all are adorable 🥰 hi Hannah!
Hi Hannah 👋🏼🙋🏼♀️

Hi Hannah! Thank you, Hannah ❤
Hi Hannah! And thank you both! 🤟🏻
I was like "Hannah seems bougie" but then that last line gave so much context and now I love her.
no tahini?! YES, SESAME FREE HUMMUS IS A THING!!
(i have a sensitivity to sesame oil and tahini)
Hi Hannah! ….. and thank you. 🙏🏻 ❤
I always wanted to make Hummus but never had the expensive ingredients. But now I can do it!
You two are awesome. Thank you for the nutrish dish.
Falafel…batter?….freezes well if more chickpea recipes are on the way 😊
Ps sunflower butter is a pretty good sub for tahini at least in this house and it'll get used rather than the tahini, which i didn't like.

If you use them a lot 😅
Not my first rodeo, but always glad to add a frugal dish to the rotation. Beans and rice only go so far!
Ty 😊
❤️🥰❤️
how would i introduce beets to the mix?? the best hummus i had …. was beet hummus 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
Yes thank you for a chickpea recipe!!!
Hello, Hanna and thank you
Kiki, I love you ❤
There is also a hummus pasta recipe that's delicious.
Endless flavor options.
If you have access to bulk sesame seeds you can make your own tahini. 😊
Use it as pasta sauce.
