Yogurt: The yogurt is used here to add a little creamy tang to the hummus, so use greek yogurt if possible and the result would be even better if your yogurt is a few days old as yogurt becomes more tangy and sour with time and that tanginess is what we’re after. Added to that, it helps in making the hummus smooth I know that you might think that tahini has enough oil and it does but the small amount of olive oil adds a different dimension to the hummus and a certain depth that you just have to try. Olive oil: So many recipes out there don’t use olive oil, I love the earthy tones it adds to hummus. Tahini: the quality of the tahini is really important in determining the final taste and texture of your hummus, so invest in some good quality tahini and you will love the result I always find canned chickpeas to be a tad too firm and that is one of the reasons why hummus made with canned chickpeas can be a little gritty. Added to that, when you cook your own chickpeas, you can cook them till they are slightly overcooked and soft, that helps in giving you super smooth hummus. Don’t be intimidated, I know it is an extra step but as you’ll see in the recipe below it is so simple and requires very little active working time. I’ll break this down for you and discuss them one by one:Ĭhickpeas: Yes, you can use canned chickpeas and they will give you pretty decent results but if you want to make the best possible homemade hummus, I would cook my own chickpeas at home. It requires very few ingredients but as is the case with all simple recipes, the quality of those ingredients is the key to getting the best possible result.
Making hummus at home is really simple and easy. I have received so many requests for a basic hummus recipe over the years and I am really sorry it took so long for me to finally post my recipe for homemade hummus. To explain what I mean by “I can actually see the mountains”, check out this picture of the same view you see above.For a good part of the year it is so humid that the mountains completely disappear.
These two pictures were just a few minutes apart.It was enchanting to watch the gradual change in colors As the temperatures go down, the humidity goes down too and I can actually see the mountains! I love watching the sun rise every morning. They only last for a few of weeks but I love every minute of that time. They bloom in November and smell a little like jasmines.
These little flowers come from the trees you see in the picture. Regardless, I do hope you’ll enjoy this little peak into RAK( ras al khaima, UAE) To be honest, I have a hard time labelling this as fall! (technically we are in the Northern hemisphere and it is fall) but today is the first day that the temperature dropped from the 30s C to 29 and as you’ll see in the pictures, trees are in bloom, flowers are everywhere and we occasionally get the beautiful cloudy skies that I am so fond of! It is anything but fall ! To prove to you all that I am doing well and am back to my usual silver lining kind of girl, today I’ll be sharing some pictures of my favorite season here in the UAE. I was just venting and I really appreciate the fact that you listened. I know so many of you were concerned that I sounded depressed or worse yet, desperate but I really wasn’t. The kindness, concern and compassion that you have all showed was heartwarming and I deeply appreciate it. Before getting to today’s recipe, please allow me to thank you …Īfter last week’s post I received so many comments, messages and emails and I am truly at a loss for words.
