About This Hummus With No Tahini Recipe
This is a great hummus with no tahini recipe. However, I use the beans that hummus is made from. So, if you have the canned beans (garbanzo, chickpeas, or Cannellini beans), you’re pretty much ready to make this one! You want to replace it because Tahini expires within a few weeks after opening and it’s not a common ingredient.
Ingredients for Hummus with no Tahini
You can make this easy recipe for hummus with no tahini. There are going to be some critical (minimal) ingredients you will want to have for this. Some of those will be the canned Chickpeas (or Garbanzo Beans), olive oil, regular or fresh lemon juice, cumin, and garlic. When using canned, you’ll want to be sure and drain the chickpeas and then briefly rinse them.
Which kind of garlic should I use in hummus?
Regarding the garlic, I just always skip garlic cloves and go straight for the minced garlic in the little jars.
How do I find a roasted bell pepper for this hummus with no tahini recipe?
The diced, roasted red bell pepper is quite a commonly added treat to the flavor. You can find it in a jar and it’s a store-bought item I use for certain recipes like this one and also for fajitas. It carries a distinct flavor for certain dishes.
How do I make that sesame flavor in the hummus?
Although it’s optional, add in some sesame seeds. If it ends up being too thick in the blender, you can thin out the hummus with a little bit of extra water. A thick paste or spread is the preferred texture. Therefore, add water, as needed, to have a thinner dip. When using Tortilla chips or very thin crackers, a thinner dip might be desired, instead of a thicker spread. Either way, you’ll blend until smooth, so it will be smooth and creamy and far more fresh tasting than store bought.
Also, get more of that Tahini flavor and replace half of the olive oil with sesame oil.
Final Optional Hummus Ingredient Adjustments
You can adjust the salt freely to your liking. This recipe uses a minimal amount already but you can consider an additional half teaspoon of salt. You can top off this make at home, best creamy hummus with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika.
Recipe for Roasted Garlic Hummus With No Tahini
Make this recipe for roasted garlic hummus with no tahini. Replace regular minced garlic with roasted minced garlic but, be sure and double or triple the amount called for. Find the roasted garlic in the produce section in small jars. The granules are darker in color.
Regarding roasted flavors, there are 4 things that could be made or purchased to enhance the flavor deeper. So, use roasted garlic, roasted sesame oil, roasted red bell peppers, and roasted chickpeas to deepen the flavor. I don’t look for the roasted chickpeas but I usually go for the roasted sesame oil and the roasted bell peppers for a great, gourmet flavor.
Country of Origin
It’s unknown in actuality; however, it’s felt the country of Egypt is the origin. But, with that said, there were direct and heavy trade relations with Egypt, Greece, and Arabic countries at that time. There were a lot of shared, mixed cuisines across the Mediterranean and Middle East, thanks to the expansive Ottoman Empire. This included India as well.
