My 2 biggest tips for hummus, which I've been making for decades: 1) It's usually good to serve as-is, but a night in the fridge REALLY helps the flavor blend. You can always warm it up. 2) Try dipping white onion petals into it, using them as scoops. It really brings the tahini out.

[@lindag5076]

Do you soak the canned chickpeas ?

[@robby9999]

Hummus isn’t my favorite food either. I rarely consider eating it. I just made your recipe. I used ½ the cumin as I don’t like it. I used 1 clove of garlic. I bought some nan . Oh my goodness. This was sooo delicious. It will be a staple at my parties and for my own lunches from now on. And it was so economical to boot

[@lorettacali10370]

Soak your garlic in the neon juice fit 20 minutes .

[@regmountain2224]

Dump them in a bowl of cold tap water to cover 2” above chick peas. Stir with your hand, The skins will float to the top and you can skim them off or pour them off.

[@evelynbaron2004]

See above yes your system is brilliant but with 2 tbs of liquid from canned any kind of legume in a blender you can keep the skins and it is seriously like a cloud ....

[@face1647]

Is this before or after you cook them. Canned or fresh?

[@regmountain2224]

Fresh Cooked, then cold water bursts skin free. Similar to freezing tomatoes, then running them (frozen) under warm water, when you take them out of the freezer. The skin comes off easy. Same goes for garlic freeze it, peal by rubbing gentle between fingers & thumb, skins fall off ( slicing them thin easier or make them into a paste after they thaw). The one time I used canned, the skins pulled off easily when I squished them, between thumb & fingers.

If you use a counter convection toaster oven it uses over 20% less electricity plus it cooks faster so with the bean skins it would be quite fast and energy efficient. If you don’t want to use any energy you could dehydrate them fairly quickly on a tray inside your unheated oven

YES! finally seeing the best recipe for hummus. after living in the middle east (and asking every falafel shop how they make it) this is definitely done well, but I have one recommendation: start with the lemon, garlic, salt and cumin in the food processor first. once this is very well blended you can put in some ice water (it becomes the texture of an amazing mayo dressing, then lastly, add the chickpeas. something special happens when you do it like this. you can even use a little of the aquafava (at the beginning). makes it even creamier. try it.

So I did the laziest thing ever. I hooked up my store bought hummus with all your flavors. Use dried parsley flakes and Added a splash of sesame oil for good measure. I didn't use the cutting board or the food processor but I did do your lemon zest garlic oil at the end. And it was amazing!!!!! So I can't wait to try this when I'm not so lazy and do it from scratch

Hey Nisha, Friend of mine recommended me the instant pot when I was searching for an rice cooker. I knew your channel from before but not the instant pot videos. Then I was searching for vegan instant pot recipes on KZbin to convince myself to get an instant pot over a rice cooker and was positively surprised to see your channel pop up! Binged all the videos regarding that content. Then discovered you had an vegan instant pot cookbook which I instantly bought! Exactly what I was looking for! Oh you also kinda convinced me to see the utility and versatility and I finally add a food processor to my kitchen collection, admittedly a different model but I am very happy with it! Helps allot with vegan cooking total game changer IMO So I made the hummus recipe for the second time, first time I did it without lemon juice becouse I had none and thought “mhe won’t make to much of a difference” , I was wrong VERY wrong! Just made it again with the juice of 1 whole lemon HOLY such a positive difference! Now I wonder what I missed all these years by not adding lemon juice to my other dishes! Keep it coming, super good content! Best wishes

[@cupbook6502]

Garlic doesn't go well with hummus actually, Americans often use too much garlic and lemon and it tastes very weird, I'm speaking as a Lebanese that loves garlic and lemon. Hummus shouldn't taste like garlic and lemon, just a hint. Hummus needs more of a creamy tahini taste rather than lemon and garlic, if it tastes like garlic or lemon its usually tastes off its more to give it a flavor rather than to "taste like garlic/lemon). Of course to each their own. Hummus is also not hummus without some good olive oil on top of it and some sumac or paprika on it, tastes so much better.

Your taste test team is the best! I never miss a video that includes them!!!! Of course I keep coming back for the food too 😉😁

[@user-lv6ek4zl7i]

pro tip: use the cooking water in the blending and start from everything else before the chickpeas to get the smoothest texture

That little moment with Mom was so sweet!!! 🥲 this was so funny, the family!! 🤣🤣 The hummus looks delicious!

[@dahlq613]

This is my first video I’ve ever seen of yours, so maybe I won’t love the rest, who knows, BUT you gave cooking tips, you have the sweetest parents, you said “no” to celery and “yes” to carbs, and you pointed out what’s “American” (which I’m counting as educational.) So far I’m 💯% hooked!

[@eeveeta]

Check out the brownie one, the parents are there too and the recipe is the best!

Love the real family feeling of your videos! The food looks great and the everyday life appeal is perfect. Thank you!

Hummus is a traditional dish in Southeastern Turkey as well, where the population is more multi-ethnic. Originally, the ingredients should be pounded. The ideal hummus is chunky not having a creamy texture. In Antakya, hummus used to be a favorite street food prepared in wooden muddlers. I am excited to see this recipe. Love :)

[@apalmateer]

!!! Your family is priceless!!! I’m making this for my family this weekend. Thank you for soooo many tasty ideas.

Don't label your food and judge it based upon the labels. The world is full of great food options, and some of it is plant based. Just enjoy it!

Your mom is a riot, Nisha! 🤣 I like your family as taste testers-very entertaining 😆 I’ll try it this way-the baking soda and ice water AND the toppings! Yum 😋 Thank you! ♥️🌱♥️

lol she certainly can be! i hope you will love this version!

[@Amirampi]

You can buy split chickpeas, these are small no shell and they cook in half the time. I add carrot and onion to the cooking process, then I remove the onion and carrot before blending, that will add some sweetness to your hummus. try it, worst case you won't like it, but it could also be the best one you had... great video!

[@wordsculpt]

Perhaps You can; the only place I can buy dried chickpeas is Costco. Full size and I had to buy 10 pounds. (Purchased for a special vegetarian dinner last year. )

I was going through my pantry yesterday and noticed I had a ton of chickpeas... so this recipe came at a perfect time! 😊

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Love it when the timing is perfect!

[@scotthutton6970]

Yes, Nisha, this is the best hummus that we have ever had, let alone, made! Our chick peas were still warm from cooking in the insta pot, so I added ice to the blender instead of cold water and fluffed up perfectly. The garlicky, lemony olive oil at the end protected the hummus from drying out, brilliant again!

I made this yesterday and it is hands down the best hummus I've ever had! The topping of sautéed garlic and lemon rind is delicious, but for some it might be overkill. It's just as good to give the finished hummus a sprinkle of smoked paprika and chopped parsley. This is now my go-to hummus recipe!

[@DarkMatterPost]

Wow you're parents are so sweet. I just had some (not great) store bought hummus and now I can't wait to make this!
