HUMMER

This popular Michigan drink, which is thick and creamy and tastes like coffee ice cream, is credited to bartender Jerome Adams, who invented it one night in 1968 at the Bayview Yacht Club in Detroit. The drink caught on with the local sailing set and over time spread inland. Mr. Adams, who died in 2018, went on to bartend at the club for more than 50 years, making countless hummers along the way. Brian Bartels, the author of "The United States of Cocktails," has modified the recipe ever so slightly, topping his hummer with a cherry.

Tips:

  • Choose the right hummus base. Depending on your dietary preferences and taste, you can use chickpeas, white beans, or even sweet potatoes as the base for your hummus.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your hummus will taste. Look for ripe, flavorful vegetables and herbs, and use high-quality olive oil.
  • Don't over-process the hummus. Hummus should be smooth and creamy, but not too thick or gluey. Over-processing can make the hummus gritty and lose its delicate flavor.
  • Season to taste. Hummus should be well-seasoned, but not overpowering. Start with a basic seasoning of salt, pepper, and cumin, then add additional spices and herbs to taste.
  • Let the hummus rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Hummus can be served immediately, but it's even better if you let it rest for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Conclusion:

Hummus is a delicious and versatile dip, spread, or condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and healthy ingredients, hummus is a great addition to any meal or snack. Whether you're serving it with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers, or using it as a sandwich spread or salad dressing, hummus is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious snack or appetizer, try making a batch of hummus at home. You won't be disappointed!
