Sabra Nationwide Recall of Hummus due to Listeria

Yeah that sucks. Glad to see they are doing random checks but holy crap people, clean your machines!!!

Or, let's start posting hummus recipes.
I've got a bag of garbanzo beans just sitting in the pantry.

Where would one find tahini paste? And in what part of a store?

Most large supermarkets. And, of course, at Whole Foods (near the peanut butter, almond butter, etc). Any Middle Eastern market.

Here's my recipe. Do not use canned garbanzo beans. The preservatives give them a weird flavor and it's a lot more expensive. 1 can of beans can range from $1-2. A bag of dry beans is usually $1 and equivalent to 4 cans.

Ingredients

4 Cloves Garlic

4 cups garbanzo beans

Water from beans (as needed)

1/3 cup tahini

2 lemons - juiced

1.5 tsp kosher salt

1/3 cup greek yogurt (full fat)

1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil (your preference)

Optional - Peppers, herbs, or whatever else you want to throw in. Jalapenos and other green chili peppers go really good in hummus. Habaneros aren't bad either. Leave the seeds in if you want it really hot.

Soak and boil your beans according to package instructions. Add all ingredients to food processor and let it go until hummus is the consistency that you like. Add water if to thick. Add yogurt if you like it creamier. Add other ingredients if you want more lemon flavor, olive oil, salt, etc.

The stuff is too easy and better to make at home than to ever buy in a damn store.

Do you only eat frozen dinners for every meal?

Dang, what a leap. Congrats.


Did I say I always pick the easier route?

You are super sassy today. I like it.


Just made a fresh batch. Didn't have tahini. Took 5 hours from start to finish.

Gris,
By itself, what does tahini taste like? What's it adding to hummus?

What I made tastes good. Is it a texture component?
