Has anybody made hummus?!


Question: Has anybody made hummus!?
Has anybody made hummus!? I made some today and it doesn't taste anything like the stuff from the shop!. This is what I did and not sure if I did it wrong!.

I bought a tin of chick peas and boiled them, drained and mashed up, then added extra virgin olive oil, sesame seed paste, roasted garlic, sea salt and pepper, coriander!. Then I put in the fridge!.

Maybe the real stuff isn't supposed to be like it is from the supermarket!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I probably wouldn't have boiled the chickpeas as they are cooked already!. Most recipes for hummus also contain quite a lot of lemon juice!. Your recipe actually sounds pretty good!. Remember, when you are cooking for yourself you only have to please yourself!.!.!.if it tastes good to you then it is good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

First, you don't boil the chickpeas if they are tinned, they're already cooked!.

Second, do not use extra virgin olive oil, is way too strong flavour wise, try to use a plain virgin one or just plain olive oil!.

Third, do not roast the garlic, it has to go in raw!. Roasting changes the flavour completely!.

Fourth, hummus never has coriander in it in any shape of form!.

Fifth, you forgot the lemon juice and that is essential!.

Once you sort that, you'll notice a great improvement in your hummus!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
