Tag: Hummus with Spiced Beef

Here are some of my fav Hummus Recipes!

Hummus is always a great dip to have! Good for lunch with some vegetables to dip in, good for a spread for a sandwich or a wrap & good as a meal with some add ons! I always like to have some Hummus in my fridge ready to enjoy.

Is it best to use canned chickpeas or chickpeas that you cook yourself? I am often asked that question. I have done both & for the sake of time prefer to use canned chickpeas. Also, to smooth out my Hummus I often add a bit of the Aquafina from the can. (Aquafina is what the liquid in the can of chickpeas is called). There is also many people who like to rub the skin off the chickpeas with a towel, it is suppose to make a smoother Hummus. I have tried this and as it is a peaceful thing to do, I actually never do it! I make a simple quick & easy Hummus.

I love this Hummus Platter.. take a large serving dish, spread some Hummus all over it & top with whatever you want! I topped mine with some crispy oven roasted chickpeas, Kalamata olives, Sliced tomatoes, Cut up cucumber, cut up peppers, Serve with Pita!

Avocado Hummus

I love guacamole & I love hummus…so I combined them. Easy. Also good because I had 1 can of chickpeas & a couple of avocado that were getting nice & ripe so I needed to use them. There isn’t much to write about it! So simple & good. Eat it any way you want… with…

Leftover Hummus & an Egg

There is some leftover hummus in the fridge , freshly boiled eggs on the stove, and I’m hungry. My go-to for hard boiled  eggs when I want to put them on bread is mayo, but thinking that the hummus would be good, I mashed up the egg, scooped a heaping teaspoon of hummus in it…

Hummus & Pita plus a few other dishes!

The other night I made a delicious dinner of Hummus & Pita plus a few other dishes! It was just what we wanted for a ‘beginning of spring dinner!

I bought pre-made frozen Falafel Balls to save a bit of time since.i was going to make the pita & other dishes! They were good & I am pretty sure they are available in most places now, If you can not find frozen Falafel Balls, maybe you can find the dry mix which is quick to use!

The menu was… Homemade Pita, Hummus, red pepper dip ( I will work on that recipe for the blog!), deviled eggs, pickles, cups up cucumbers, roasted cherry tomatoes & roasted cauliflower. I fried up some eggplant slices as well. OH… I can’t forget the tahini sauce too! So good! I have a few recipes on this blog for some of the food we ate so here they are! And.. I have added some recipes I did not make too!! This kind of dinner is just so versatile! You can add anything you like….

For the tahini, I do not have a recipe here … I have a recipe for tahini dressing & tahini sauce with roast potatoes. but here is how to make it , put this in a jar to shake it up or a bowl & uses a whisk, Take 1/2 cup tahini, juice of half a lemon, pinch of salt, & about 4 tbsp of cold water…mix, if this is too thick then add more cold water gradually. Adjust the seasonings…salt etc. you can add more lemon if you want too! Drizzle the tahini sauce over anything & everything!!

Oven-Baked Pita

I have had an Israeli cookbook for over 35 years… I look through it often but have not made anything for it before! We wanted some pita for dinner, which I have made before and posted on this blog but thought I would try a different one! No oil… vegan… no frying .. This recipe…

Baba Ganoush

As with Hummus, there are so many recipes for Baba Ganoush & I pretty much like all of them. Some are made with mayonnaise which I really like but the one that I have been making lately uses tahini.  Very quick & simple, delicious & healthy. If you can not eat tahini, add mayonnaise in its…
