Re: Tahina halawa .... Hummus recipe

[Guest guest]

Madam

hummus is indeed crushed chick peas.. but then in that you add a

little bit of Tahini paste always... you get tahini paste in all

middle eastern store, if not, just soak some " til " in water and blend

them in your food processor

Now a days, all grocery stores in the US stock hummus and I am sure

they do too in the UK. I always buy the fresh one in the deli section,

and not the canned one...

So, I use store bought hummus and jazz it up as follows:

I buy plain hummus from the store.. to that I add the following:

I buy roasted red peppers (capsicum) which are in the pickle aisle in

your grocery store... easy to find...

ok, so now I add to a blender the roasted red pepper, 2-3 cloves of

garlic hummus, and lemon juice and blend the same. The red pepper

gives the hummus a nice red colour.. Now its ready to serve

To serve my hummus, I assemble a platter as follows:

I buy freshly baked baguette or french bread and slice it into thin

slices, they are nice for dipping in the hummus

I buy 2-3 different types of crackers and serve them on the platter too

along with the hummus and bread-crackers, I serve a bowl of black

olives and also some nice red cherry tomatoes.

Ok just the thought of hummus made me go on such a tangent

Makes me hungry all this talk of food-and I am in clinic-wonder what all the

pts shall think of these rumblings!

I cheat always and get the ready red pepper/lemon/lowfat hummus-the Tesco

here has 3-4 different varieties of the same.The good thing about UK being

so multicultural is that even the mainstream stores stock desi stuff-I get

my dudhi and bhindi there too.

And dont call me madam-makes me feel ancient and that too when I haver just

had my keep young fix!!

Am sure the homemade stuff tastes divine-the shop bought one probably does

not compare-so when do we get to taste it??
