Hommus (& cya suckers)
I promised Smiley I'd send her my hommus....... recipe for lack of better term for throwing stuff in a blender in quantities that tickle my tastebuds. So why not share.
Please note all quantities are pretty much plucked from thin air. Make it how you like it. Add chilli flakes if you can hack it (ps they get hotter day by day), throw in Cajun Spice mix if you like it hot, who the hell cares, you're eating it.
1 425(?)g Chickpeas, drained
50ml boiling water
1 tablespoon tahini (usually lives in the healthfood aisle, sesame seed paste)
2 tablespoons Fresh (or bottled) lemon or lime juice (pick your fave)
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
Pinch of salt (entirely optional)
1 teaspoon ground Cummin
1 teaspoon ground Coriander
Cracked Pepper to taste
(optional added extras... ie if you have them hanging about they could just make your day)
Freshly chopped coriander (even if it does come out of the tube for those as lazy as me)
Cummin or Coriander seeds
Chilli Flakes
Cajun Spices (usually best put in before cummin/coriander, easier to balance flavour that way)
Dump the lot in a blending receptacle of some description and blend til it tastes delicious but is still slightly lumpy... texture is a good thing people.
Taste, add stuff at will, blend some more... etc etc til ur tastebuds are tingling and you have the insane urge to stuff hommus in your mouth until the whole thing is empty.
PS this stuff needs no oil to preserve, will last about a week in the fridge (if'n you don't pig out on it long before then, if it's in the fridge that long you made it wrong).
Recipe idea: Use it instead of tomato paste on a pizza with some Dukkha chicken and roasted capsicum and other yummies, absolutely divine.
Must sod off, clothes are packed and house is in state of utter shambles.
Cop ya in a week peoples!!!

Yum. I can eat that shit just on toast.
Can't say I've ever made it though. It seems too fiddly.
Who needs toast.... a spoon will do.
And it's not fiddly, is all shit we stock in the pantry (due to my addiction). If you got a stab stick (u know... blender... stick one... anyhoo) then it's tres less messy too. and ALWAYS craps on the common store bought crud!
Do what HMHB did and stick the links in the side so I can find them easily please. I mean to do this with mine one day too.
For pizza u reckon? Well I never imagined THAT. I trust you though and next pizza night... that will be a goer.
Remind me when I get back Mellz, may eventually set up a blog for recipes (food & more importantly cocktails)
and trust me just not with sherry or schmackos
Sounds good. i'll use harissa instead of dried chilli, only because I bought a fiery yellow tube of the stuff at the spice shop, and still haven't found what to do with it yet....
Mmmmm, hommus, thanks for the recipe, shall use that one when entertaining guests soon :)
Lish: I live in the land of hummous and honey and it's a rare day when it isn't pulled out of the fridge and put on something! Strangely enough I have never made it though, probably because it is so cheap and easy to find here that I haven't bothered but your recipe looks great.
One thing though (if I may) please, please don't ever use the bottled lemon juice, it is disgusting and and the contents of it haven't ever seen or been near a lemon!!
Sorry, rant over.
HMHB said, "bottled lemon juice, it is disgusting"..I concur..only the freshest is best :)
Will try your recipe in the next week when I next have a webber BBQ and friends over to play :)
Ha! It sounds like you cook the same way I do!
