Have you ever tried Hummus?

[Ruthanne]

Hummus is made of Garbanzo or cici beans mixed with various other ingredients depending on the kind of hummus.

Here is one of the recipes for hummus:

[Shalimar]

I have tried it, even made it on occasion. Somehow, I just can't warm to the texture of garbanzo beans.

It is something you definitely have to acquire a taste for Shalimar.

It's great in a Lebanese vegetarian kebab.

I've never had it that way. How do you put it in a kebab?

 

[Warrigal]

A round of Lebanese flat bread, spread with hummus then filled with BBQd capsicum, cauliflower, eggplant - and fresh salad - red onion slices, shredded lettuce, tomato - and finished with a creamy garlic sauce. The whole lot is rolled up tightly and you hold it with two hands and get stuck in. Divine.

I use it all the time spread on the wraps as Warrigal does. Whatever is in the fridge goes on top and I always make a little extra chicken, pork or beef to have on hand. Easy peasy way to use up leftovers.

Dislike Hummus, love garbanzo beans, go figure

 

[Warrigal]

Actually hummus over here is made from chick peas. Or is this just another name for garbanzo beans? I have never heard of them.

I just googled garbanzo beans and, yes, they are the same as chick peas.

Being vegetarian, I eat chick peas and hummus often, an excellent source of protein. I use more olive oil and lemon juice than the OP's recipe as well as a small amount of garlic and tahini, which I think is a must for yummy hummus. I blend it very very thoroughly with my hand blender for a smooth consistency then serve with toasted naan or pita and black olives. Sometimes I blend in roasted eggplant into my hummus and it becomes baba ganoush, very tasty.

Garbanzo beans and chick peas are one and the same, I believe.

 

[Goldfynche]

We eat it all the time. Good for either spreading or dipping.

Simple to make with a Magic Bullet or similar.

I love hummus..it's a great snack

 

[RadishRose]

They are the same. True hummus is mixed with tahihi paste, it's not just ground up beans; fresh garlic, fresh lemon juice and good quality olive oil.

There isn't a function I go to where it isn't served, so, yes, I've had it. It's not the first thing I think to purchase for myself any given day, but, I do like it and will have it again any time it's presented at a meal. It's funny, because I was thinking of making it, mainly because they keep running this commercial every 15 minutes in my area. The power of suggestion works sometimes, especially if you're hungry.
