don't have much experience with making homemade hummus...anything i should add/subtract?
Cook Chick Peas in crock pot on high, until hot, then on low, (maintaining about
a half inch to an inch of water over them), for about 12 hours, & strain in
colander.
-- 1 1/2 Cups Chick Peas
-- A little over 3 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-- 1 T Lemon Juice
-- 2 T Minced Garlic in jar or 1 T fresh garlic
-- 1/4 tsp Salt
-- 1/2 tsp Cayenne
-- 1/2 tsp Cumin
--1 T Tahini (optional)

quote:
in food processor, I just put all the ingredients in at the
beginning, before processing.
Process long time, til creamy smooth, tilting and shaking as necessary.
(Added almost 1/4 tsp Black Pepper, tonight, just to see, but can't tell much
difference...I think it's just fine, without it.)
Tip: Cayenne & Cumin taste better when fresh, so if the lid won't close, you
might want to get fresh jar of Cayenne.

Legit. I have no idea what Tahini is, however.
ETA Still don´t know exactly what Tahini is, but I´m sure it´s been in most versions of hummus which I´ve eaten.

Increase the tahini 3x. I don't care for cumin in mine. Add a T or two of Italian parsley. Process it and adjust to your taste.

Looks like recipes I've tried. Never have been able to make a really good humus though.

Tahini is more than optional, it's necessary for hummus. Although I once read you could substitute peanut butter or almond butter for tahini (it's sesame seed butter)

The recipe needs garlic, too. I'd add 2 or 3 pods.

Instead of salt use a half tspn of celery salt and definitely use the tahini. If using canned chick peas make sure to drain and rinse, then add a little water and bring them to a boil. It will make them more tender. Makes awesome hummus
