HUMMUS SPREAD
Hummus completely from scratch using roasted sesame seeds, very easy. You can cook your beans ahead of time and leave them in the fridge for a couple days. Canned would work fine if you don't have the time.

SPICY HUMMUS: QUICK CHICKPEA SPREAD (RACHEL RAY)
This got many rave reviews on the other site. However, most said it was too thick. So some added about half the liquid from the canned chick peas, a little more olive oil and more lemon juice. I think some roasted red pepper would be good. Good basic recipe that you can adjust to taste, for our tastes I will most likely add more of the seasonings, and add a dash of cayenne too.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your hummus. Look for ripe chickpeas, creamy tahini, and fresh lemon juice.
- Soak the chickpeas overnight: This will help them to cook more evenly and will make them easier to digest. If you're short on time, you can also use canned chickpeas, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Cook the chickpeas until they are very tender: This will make them easier to blend into a smooth hummus. You can cook them in a pot on the stovetop or in a pressure cooker.
- Use a food processor or high-powered blender: This will help you to achieve a smooth, creamy hummus. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take a bit more time and effort.
- Season the hummus to taste: Add salt, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin to taste. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Hummus is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or spread. It's also a great way to add more plant-based protein and fiber to your diet. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious hummus at home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give this hummus recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
