How To Make Hummus from Scratch | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@truthseeker7833]

I’m Lebanese and have eaten hummus my whole life, this is spot on chef! One trick is to add baking soda to the boiling water which will help remove more of the skins and make it even creamier. Ciao!! Love your content.

[@minkyfran8307]

Thank you for that tip , Hummus is one of my favourite foods ❤

[@whoadog8725]

Yes! I use baking soda and cook the beans a bit longer until the skins break down. You can’t really overcook the beans when they are going in a purée.

[@leighanneboles6609]

Yes!

[@BannedEvECharacter]

I use the same thing for brown beans, but also during soaking, takes the skins of like nothing!

[@mariaelenamelendez1511]

Please, tell me how much baking soda? Thank you 👌🏼🙋🏻🙏🏼😊

[@wissamsaab9841]

I'm an old 78 yrs Lebanese too. Your hummus process is definitly spot on albight the addition of cumin & paprika in the original mix . Normally they are added later to the finished product as flavour decoration . Grated lemon peel as you know , will increase the lemon flavour . Insted of adding bicarbonte of soda to the boil , the old tested trick to remove the chickpeas skin , is to lay them flat between 2 tea towels and rub them gently , the skin is removed in no time & then the final Hummus dip will be silky smooth 😊🙏

Thank you chef mundoJean-Pierre, I am a older Latino man that with my sister we take care of our mother who suffered a stroke about 6 years ago. I never learned to cook but now I had too and your videos have helped me tremendously. And without asking I know my mother thanks you too, I believe she was getting sick of me cooking her eggs, LOL. I know I am better and plan to better my skills. Love your attitude and always enjoy your videos. Thank you again

[@leojampolsky3226]

Hello! I am from middle east and you're spot on! Tips: add backing soda while cooking for smoothness and skins removal. Another one: use the water from cooking for more flavour (this one is a killer!). Another one: you can grind it less fine and eat as a porridge (love it myself). Another one: add some hot peppers- hummus loves hot spices and EGGS! Cheers!

I’m Lebanese and I have to say that your recipe is spot on! My advice for decorating the plate is to use slices of radishes because the color contrast perfectly with the Hummus and to add a bit of orange juice with the lemon, it gives it that acid taste that’s just yummy with the chickpeas 😋

[@LupoDePace]

Chef, let me start by saying how much I love and look forward to watching your videos. They are always fun, exciting, interesting and entertaining and I learn something new every time. I also want to thank you because you've inspired me to apply to culinary school and go back to get my certificate. When I was fresh out of high school in the 1980's, my dream was to become a professional chef. But just as I was starting my journey, life threw me a few curveballs and I ended up having to let the dream go and take a different path. But watching you these last few months has given me back that love for creating beautiful masterpieces in the kitchen again and after talking it over with friends and family, they've all said the same thing: DO IT! So I'll be strapping on an apron hopefully this fall and I have you to thank for being the inspiration.

[@daphnepearce9411]

Wonderful! Good luck to you!

This is my favorite video on the channel by far! 1. Hummus is healthy! That is most important to me. 2. Showing us the option to use canned chickpeas. 3. The camera shot where it moved to the sink was really cool! 4. Chef attempting to measure things for us! 5. Explaining the process of tasting the hummus and checking the texture in order to get the flavor profile and consistency just right! 6. As always, Chef's humor! I love this video!

A trick my mum(I'm Lebanese) taught me is to add some of the water the chickpeas were boiled in for a stronger chickpea flavour. I highly recommend it. It really does it make it better. As chef JP says, water has no flavour so why not use the chickpea flavoured one

[@richardcorsillo9819]

Aquafava/aquafaba is what they call chickpea water in Italy. Use it for foccacia. That water is special stuff!

[@territhomas4654]

I used to add all the ingredients at the same time, however I found that whipping the tahini for several minutes with the garlic, oil, lemon juice and a little of the chickpea water, before adding the chickpeas, salt, and cumin, yields a much smoother hummus. But I’m willing to try this recipe as it’s been years since I’ve done it the way Chef is doing it here.

Im Lebanese and i always make hummus except we don’t put too much garlic maybe 1 or 2 cloves max because the garlic should be in the back as well.. but today i learned a new trick from you to boil it along with the chick peas so i will give that a try. And yes absolutely you cannot freeze the hummus after it’s made but you can definitely freeze the chick peas after boiling it and keep in ziplock bags with some of the their water for when you need to make some in a pinch just need to remember to take the bag out of the freezer the day before and put it in the fridge to thaw. Chef J-P you never cease to amaze many of us followers by your creativity. Thank you ❤

I freeze hummus frequently! Keeps just fine in the freezer.

[@sionbenjamin4513]

Hello Chef, we usually leave a small portion of the chickpeas intact after boiling and put them in the center of the plate with the olive oil and hot chili powder for those who like to “wipe” the plate with the pita bread.

[@stevef.8708]

@@richardcorsillo9819 Very good point and I never thought of the caloric implications before. I typically consume a LARGE amount because, well, garlic chickpeas and olive oil sounds healthy right? Oops. 😅

[@attocoulomb]

Cooking the garlic with the beans is a great idea! I will definitely do that going forward. I make hummus about 3 times a month, often a double batch. I've given up trying to get many skins off -- I just run the food processor for longer. I use 1/2 c tahini for 4 cups of cooked beans. I always add 1 tsp ground coriander and 3/4 tsp cumin, and either hot or sweet or smoked paprika. I sometimes make my tahini from sesame seeds, so truly "from scratch." I vary the bean type. Chickpeas of course, and black chickpeas have a good flavor (a bit less smooth from tougher skins). For the smoothest hummus ever, try mayacoba beans - no need to remove skins. Great Northern white beans are also good, and red kidney beans for a change. I soak beans for at least 24 hours, maybe 36, and change the water a few times while soaking.
