PINE NUT HUMMUS



Pine Nut Hummus image

This is my take on Hummus. There is never enough garlic in the recipes I've tried so I really increased the amount. This is a recipe that seems to never come out quite the same. I don't adjust the garbanzo or tahini amounts but definitely adjust the amount of water for consistency, the garlic and spices etc. to suit your taste. This is a nice quick appetizer for pot lucks or parties. It can easily be made a day or too ahead of time.

Time 20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed well (chick-peas beans are the same thing)
2/3 cup well stirred tahini (I like Joyva brand)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (or to taste)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted lightly
1 1/2 tablespoons cumin (or to taste)
3 -4 dashes hot sauce (tobasco or your favorite brand)
1 -2 head cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • On a cutting board mince and mash the garlic to a paste with the salt.
  • In a food processor puree the garbanzo/chickpeas with the garlic paste, the tahini, the lemon juice, the oil, and water, scraping down the sides, until the hummus is smooth. Add salt or more lemon juice to taste.
  • Add water if necessary, to thin the hummus to the desired consistency (it should not be too thick).
  • Add dashes of hot sauce, 1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro and 2 tablespoons pine nuts. Pulse the processor a few times to incorporate the nuts and cilantro.
  • Taste, and adjust seasoning to your taste.
  • Transfer hummus to a serving bowl, garnish with remaining whole pine nuts and chopped cilantro. Serve hummus with veggies, pita bread, naan etc.

Tips:

  • Soak the pine nuts beforehand: Soaking them for at least 30 minutes in hot water softens them and enhances their flavor.
  • Toast the pine nuts: Toasting the pine nuts in a pan or in the oven brings out their nutty flavor and aroma.
  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender: This will ensure a smooth and creamy hummus texture.
  • Add the ingredients gradually: Start with the basic ingredients (chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic) and add the other ingredients (pine nuts, olive oil, cumin, and salt) gradually, tasting as you go.
  • Adjust the consistency with water: If the hummus is too thick, add a little water until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Season to taste: Taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings (lemon juice, salt, and cumin) as needed.
  • Serve with your favorite accompaniments: Hummus is delicious served with pita bread, vegetables, crackers, or chips.

Conclusion:

Pine nut hummus is a delicious and versatile dip or spread that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, nutty flavor, and tangy lemon finish, pine nut hummus is sure to be a hit at any gathering. Try it out today and let us know what you think!
