Re: Tahini (hummus recipe)

[Guest guest]

Funny..made humus today as well. Did a bag of dried chickpeas, presoaked for

about an hour, in the pressure cooker and then proceeded with the recipe in the

VM. *Note to self: 16 oz bag of dried chickpeas makes a LOT of hummus...got 1

jar in fridge and 3 in freezer! **Second note to self, when doing 16 oz bag of

dried chickpeas,(see previous note), probably easier to process in 2 batches in

VM! Anyway, the final result is creamy and wonderful...definitely best I ever

made. Will definitely stick with dried chickpeas in the future.

Hummus - Vita-Mix - Serves 6

Published in: VitaMix Recipe Book, page 102

Ingredients

1 can Garbanzo Beans, Canned -- drained

1 can Garbanzo Beans, Canned -- UNdrained

1/4 cup Sesame Seeds

2 clove Garlic

1 tablespoon Olive oil -- your best

1/4 cup Lemon Juice

1 teaspoon Cumin Seed

Instructions

1. Place all the ingredients, except the salt, into the Vita-MIx container in

the order listed and secure the lid.

2. Select Variable 1.

3.Turn the machine on and quickly increase the speed to Variable 10, then to

High.

4. Blend for 1 minute using the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades.

5. Season to taste with salt.

Note: If using dried chick peas...

Soak chick peas over night in cold water to cover. Drain chick-

peas and put in a pot with fresh cold water to cover. Bring to a boil

and simmer, partially covered, for about an hour, or until peas are

tender and the skin begins to separate. Add more water as needed.

Recipe Notes

I add the salt with the ingredinets.

The tamper was not really needed.

This is the best Hummus I have ever had. I think it has to do with the fresh

sesame seeds instead of the paste and probably the cumin seed instead of ground.

I'm glad to know that the dried is so nice. I have dried that I bought for

falafel. I'll split it up and use some for hummus.

How long did they take in pressure cooker? I was thinking of doing that

(pressure cooker). Thanks for the great idea.

I'm not a "pressure cooker cooker" (except for rice and then in the insert) but I've found cooked-at-home pulses always taste better than canned. Also, check (my) message #4473 for a great method of presoaking all pulses; this makes them extremely digestible and although it involves a little more attention than just sticking them in water after sorting through them for stones and such, the payoff is well worth the extra effort.

Don't forget to let your chickpeas a boil hard for a bit before cooking.

Velda,

Soaked for about an hour, then pc on high for 15min, let pressure come down by

itself. I did add a bit of EVOO to minimize foaming. I saved the cooking liquid

(which was quite thick) but ended up adding it all back in to get to the proper

consistency.

This site has great charts for PC cooking:
