___
Makes about 1 kg of Hummus (scale down if needed):
500g Dried Chickpeas
250g Tahini
70-100g ice
75ml Lemon Juice
2 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Baking Soda
Citric acid (optional)
For Beiruty Hummus:
1 Cup Hummus
2 Tbsp Parsley
1 Tsp Mint
1 Clove Garlic
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 Tsp Chilli flakes
___
Directions:
To prepare the chickpeas:
1- Add your dry chickpeas to a bowl and completely submerge with water. Allow them to soak for 8-12h or overnight
2- Rinse your chickpeas, then add to a pot with the baking soda. Pour water over the chickpeas to cover them by about 2 inches
3- Turn the heat up to high and bring the pot to a boil. When the chickpeas foam up, stir the foam back into the pot and turn the heat to medium.
4- Cook for half an hour, then remove some of the chickpeas and set aside to use as a garnish later
5- Place a lid on your pot and cook the chickpeas for another 30-60 minutes on medium
6- The chickpeas are done cooking when they are extremely soft and have burst. They should mash very easily and the skins should have dissolved
7- Allow any extra water to evaporate away
8- Pour the cooked chickpeas onto a plate, and allow it to cool completely until room temp (You can freeze these and defrost them whenever you want hummus)
To make the hummus:
1- Add your prepared chickpeas to a food processor or blender, and process for 3-4 minutes, scraping down the side of the bowl halfway, until the chickpeas are processed into a super fine paste. If this is lumpy, you need to process longer. Feel it between your fingers and it should be floury
2- Add 70g of ice into the food processor, and process into the chickpeas until light and fluffy
3- Now add the tahini and mix it in. Then when that has been fully incorporated add the lemon juice
4- You can now adjust to your desired acidity/thickness by adding citric acid or more ice
5- Store in the fridge for up to a week
To make Beiruty Hummus:
1- Finely chop the parsley and mint
2- Add all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well
To serve hummus:
1- Place a pile on a plate or bowl
2- Use the inside of the spoon to build the hummus up into a mound, while rotating the plate
3- Use the back of the spoon to push the hummus outwards and create the classic well shape
4- Add your toppings such as chickpeas, then pour in olive oil
To use canned chickpeas:
1- Wash the chickpeas thoroughly then add to the pot with the baking soda
Bring to a boil, then cook from step 5 onwards

@Jiang Dashan Not at all i've tried yesterday and made the best hummus ever

[@max_daisy]

I’m not usually a commenter but wow!!! I just made this recipe and it is unreal how good it is, even as just the base itself. The smoothness feels so luxurious and light in the mouth. I expected that I’d want to add garlic and/or cumin or something at the end but I ended up enjoying the base hummus so much eating it right out of the food processor I decided to leave it as is! 😂 this may be the best hummus I’ve ever had in my life. SO good, thank you for such a great recipe :)

[@LaFeuilleAF]

Same here, I never comment, but this one definitely deserve a huge THANK YOU!! This recipe is simply fantastic!

[@Antaios632]

This is great, but I have a different tip! Instead of using the kind of chick peas you started with, use what they call in India "desi chana," which you can find with the skins/hulls completely removed by the name "chana dal." They look a bit like split peas because the desi chana are smaller and they come apart when the skins are milled off, but they taste no different to the bigger plumper ones (which are called "kabuli chana" in India). With just that one change, you can still follow the same recipe, and the smoothness is off the charts! It's a real game changer if you want to give it a go!

[@MiddleEats]

Yes that's something I want to test in an upcoming video. If it works out, and I don't see why not, it will be s great time saver

I knew what chana dal is but never made this connection, shelling my chickpeas by hand 😐 This is a great tip that's going to be tested on this shopping trip!

[@Antaios632]

@ same here! I've been shopping in Indian grocery stores for at least 25 years and never put 2 and 2 together until about 6 months ago! 😂 Obie mentions it in this video, but one step I've found to be especially important is making sure the cooked chick peas are completely cooled before processing. I found out the hard way that if you process them hot or even when they're still warm, they absorb too much liquid and the texture goes a little funny. I let mine chill in the fridge first, but the ice cube trick is something I'm gonna try next.

[@MiddleEats]

You should still chill them even when using ice cubes. Mine went into the fridge overnight.

@@MiddleEats A useful comment section may be an internet first 🥇 Thanks! I'll condense all of this into my own recipe notes!

[@Mickmickster]

I made this hummus recipe and this is by far the best compared to the others I’ve tried. My hummus before always came out chalky and too thick. My mistakes before but corrected after Obi’s advice: Didn’t cook chickpeas long enough Didn’t let chickpeas cool thoroughly Didn’t use baking soda Didn’t use ice, used water Added all ingredients together rather than ice first, then other ingredients I roasted two heads of garlic and blackened some red peppers to add for different flavors, but honestly, this hummus recipe is awesome as is. And dried chickpeas all the way. Obi, once again, well done!

[@MiddleEats]

Thank you, glad to hear it turned out so well! I think apart from buying a Vitamix or a mill, it would be hard to get anything smoother.

[@Mickmickster]

@@MiddleEats LOL, I have a Vitamix (birthday present) and my hummus still came out poorly in the past. Tried making hummus about 20 times prior with different recipes but still got same crap results. Your recipe was the first time I actually said about my homemade hummus “aw wow this is good”. I ended up making your hummus 3 ways, one your original recipe, two with roasted garlic, and three with roasted red pepper. I used your plating techniques (including the wet fork with paprika) and served it with raw carrots, celery, and Arabic bread. My wife (and even my sons) loved the presentation. I’m a pretty good cook but my presentation leaves a lot to be desired. Keep up the good work 👍👊

I've recently started reducing the amount of meat im eating and things from this channel have been really helpful with that! Thank you for the great content :)

[@MiddleEats]

Always happy to help. In contrary to popular belief, most middle Eastern food is vegetarian or vegan. It's only in the past century where adding meat to everything became popular, but meat is still an occasional luxury for the vast majority of middle easterners and so unintentionally loads of people don't eat meat often. I too have been trying to become more flexitarian and sustainable with my eating.

[@ElieBei]

@@MiddleEats that's why I love middle Eastern food. It's naturally vegetarian and vegan with no crazy substitutes. However, I believe there is no real middle Eastern cuisine, but a variety of cuisines in the region defined as middle East. Great work and I have been following you since you had just a few thousands subscribers. I'm happy that your channel is growing rapidly.

[@PrivacyEnt]

@@MiddleEats I think it also comes from the fact that refrigeration was introduced to the area in the past century where it unlocks a lot more possibilities to try with meat otherwise going bad fast because of the hot weather conditions

[@dodododo995]

One of my favorite dish in middle east is (ash) :this is a thick soup,made of leafy veggies like coriander,dill,lot of lentils,dried beans,chickpea,wheat,lot of onions,It took 6hours from preparing to cooking,its so delicious,even children like it

[@sarinininaa]

In Syria ( and I think this is applied to the whole Levant ), garlic is an essential ingredient in hummus as well as cumin ( the ingredient that most recipes totally ignore ) because it adds a great taste and help digest the chickpeas. Olive oil is also included in the blender.

[@jeanjacquesrousseau1955]

Im a german potato and I always added cumin and garlic to my humus. Felt like a natural thing to do so good to know they do it in Syria. ^^ I like roasting my garlic in olive oil and then use the garlic infused olive oil and the roasted garlic to blend my humus.

[@crabmansteve6844]

Garlic and cumin go into every hummus I've ever made, they're essential to me.

[@jodrew1845]

[@sarinininaa]

@@crabmansteve6844 Yess!❤️ here in the US most supermarkets hummus don’t have it in the ingredients and they seem to not put enough garlic.

[@sarinininaa]

@@jeanjacquesrousseau1955 Looks amazing 😻, I would suggest trying it with black garlic. It’s not the traditional way but I made it once and it turned out to be great.

[@lurklingX]

SUMAC. This is an amazing seasoning, and it’s incredible on hummus. (I usually blend •lemon but also •garlic and a little •cumin into the base hummus, sumac can be added in or just sprinkled liberally on top at the end). If you use broccoli or cauliflower to scoop up hummus, the SUMAC especially tastes wonderful. while also being a healthy option. --ICE - That ice trick transforms even the canned chickpeas. It was incredible the first time I had used it. The hummus was infinitely lighter and smoother just from that! But I look forward to trying this version also. :) Wonderful vid, as always. 👏✨

[@QuantumPolagnus]

Sumac is so freaking good on hummus. I'm honestly surprised Obi didn't mention it; I'd have assumed it would be a tang gang favorite.

[@MiddleEats]

Sumac is definitely a good idea, it isn't super traditional but will definitely work well. I wonder if while sumac berries would be good with this.

[@6tatev]

sumac on hummus isn't groundbreaking, although if you've just discovered it because you're not middle eastern, I suppose its exciting.

[@DF-pr9iy]

@@6tatev A lot of people in Syria and Lebanon put Sumac as garnish on hummus and even cumin. If it is not traditional for you guys it is because you come from a different area. There is not one way to do it in the Middle East. I never saw hummus bi shawarma in my entire life.

[@6tatev]

@@DF-pr9iy yes I just meant it’s nothing groundbreaking, we use it all the time

Just made this recipe today using the Chana Dal recommended by one of the viewers. Outstanding flavor and incredibly smooth. Thank you. Love your videos!

[@Tedkomama]

I’ve always preferred the one mashed by hand, lumpy with chunks served with roasted lamb. But the smooth ones are also good. Every hummus is good.

I always top my hummus with about 10 kilos of sumac

[@lipstickzombie4981]

A bit of fusion cuisine, but gochujang or Chinese chili oil.👍🏼

[@MiddleEats]

Oh wow, chilli crisp would be perfect for hummus! Great idea

[@MiddleEats]

Definitely sumac is a great idea, that tang hits different with hummus.

[@lurklingX]

CrabmanSteve I second the SUMAC. Amazing stuff. It’s been my new favorite spice. (Also * Za’tar!!! * Which ironically has sumac in it LOL. Not sure how it would be on hummus, but it’s amazing on fish, broccoli, rice, etc.)

[@BluskyeAllison]

BRILLIANT. This really is the best recipe for gourmet humus. I used two 400g cans of chickpeas/carbonzo beans and 160 of high quality tahini, with lemon juice and salt, that's it. No rapeseed oil or even olive oil for the base. It's wonderfully deep, rich and nutty. I have spent the past 30 years eating crap humus. No more. And this luxurious version is great for heart health. Thank you so much.

[@eggpassion]

i use this recipe almost every week. it's simple, easy to follow and requires the least amount of effort which i love. it gives me the best hummus ive ever had, the only down side is my friends are addicted and won't stop asking me to make them hummus

[@Fuzzy_Spork]

Thank you! This might be the most comprehensive video on making humus that I've seen.

[@MiddleEats]

Thanks! There's a ton of hacks, tricks and details that go into hummus making, so I'll definitely be making more hummus videos to cover them!

[@elaadt]

I usually add the baking soda during the initial soak. Then drain, rinse, add fresh water and cook. This prevents an unpleasant aftertaste if you over-do the baking soda. Only if the hummus doesn't turn to mush after a reasonable cooking time, I add a tiny bit of baking soda to get the job done. Another thing, the type of tahini used also makes a difference to the final outcome.

[@pubcollize]

My dad used to claim, and I believe he was right, that some store-bought hummus brands are aerated. Basically whipped hummus. Some of them are significantly fluffier and physically lighter for a given volume, without being watery. By the looks of it I don't think it's the case with the ones you tested, but I've encountered some. Even without buying them you can tell right there on the shelf they have more volume for their designated weight.

[@MiddleEats]

Yes that is definitely the case with some brands and if you use a Vitamix, you can achieve the same results. It's nice and fluffy, but the texture is quite different.

[@pubcollize]

@@MiddleEats Yeah I actually prefer heavier and coarser hummus so none of this is relevant for me but I watched anyways out of interest and for the algorithm's sake. Either way at home I usually make it from black eyed peas which I like better (they make an unpleasant hue hummus but I don't mind that), or if I want a quick 15-minutes-from-dry-legume-to-plate hummus I make it from orange lentils and with the right seasoning you wouldn't be able to tell the difference compared to chickpeas hummus.

[@pubcollize]

@ravvraj 1. When it comes to regional food of such a wide region with such varied cultures, saying about any method that it's "right" is usually wrong. 2. This is hummus not whipped cream. It's not about having a lot of hummus volume on every piece of pita, it's about enjoying good hummus. Good hummus is eaten with a spoon, the pita is for an occasional carby bite and for cleaning the plate. I rarely have more than half a pita with my hummus.

[@pubcollize]

@ravvraj Chillax dude, a bit of rhetorical irony doesn't legitimize lashing out and swearing at people. Go eat some hummus however way you like it, it'll calm you down. To be honest I didn't bother reading more than half of your unprompted attack, but let me tell you what seems quite obvious from the part I did read - You're accusing me of hypocrisy, yet your tirade is full of logical fallacies and odd twisting of the truth and what I said. Either way, seriously, go take a breath, eat hummus, eat aerated hummus, something.

Amazing hummus! I just made this and, yes, it is very creamy and delicious. I soaked the beans overnight, cooked them with baking soda, let cool, then mixed in the food processor until creamy. I added the tahini last as he recommended. Wow, it is fantastic! Thank you for an excellent video that explains how to make this recipe properly.

[@camilandtati]

Obi, love the passion you have. I personally make great hummus very similar to yours but some of your tips will save me time from peeling every single chickpea to achieve the smoothness. While hummus is a fantastic dip, I have recently come to appreciate Baleela even more (whole cooked soft chickpeas, salt, mashed garlic and good quality olive oil).

[@MiddleEats]

Interesting! I haven't heard of that baleela before, the baleela in Egypt is a kind of porridge. I'll look it up

[@OpinionatedLumber]

@@MiddleEats in Morocco chickpeas are also often cooked whole and then spiced without being blended. It's a common street food.

[@3asem5000]

BALEELA in levant contries = LEBLEBI in Turkey = HALABESSA (homus elsham) in Egypt

[@laladyloulou]

We call it Baleela in Lebanon too, it’s a breakfast food that hummus and foul shops sell as well. Love it and so simple to make and keep in the fridge for a quick snack or breakfast (although it’s best served hot right after cooking). Also perfect if you cooked too many chickpeas and not sure what to do with the rest.

i've been making hummus for a while now and haven't been able to get the perfect hummus, lemon and tahina ratio consistent every time, can't wait to try this one!

[@MiddleEats]

It 100% depends on your tahini though. Store bought tahini in Europe is brown rather than beige and has a stronger taste as it's roasted longer. If you use beige tahini, you can add more for the same flavour effect. Check out my tahini video where I compare them. Hope your hummus turns out great!

[@lurklingX]

Also depends on the tahini you use. The thickness or liquidity of each can be different, and the flavor varies quite drastically at times! (different brands).

i'd heard of the peeled chickpeas method before but never had the patience to actually give it a go. this is a godsend!

[@MichaelMa]

Hummus can have an amazingly low glycemic index and net carbs when the chickpeas are slightly undercooked with the aid of the fibrous skin, but hummus can have high glycemic index and net carbs when it's perfectly smooth and made without the skin. Something to consider depending on how much and how frequently you eat hummus.

[@ColinsCity]

is that true? so basically using the canned chickpeas which are not fully cooked helps with keeping them a net carb?

[@victoriarobersohn3592]

That DOES look delicious, but i can't even imagine making hummus without a ton of garlic blended into it!

Hey, future me: when you come back to this awesome recipe and want to use canned chickpeas, remember to account for a ratio of 1:2.2 dried:cooked when converting the amounts. Otherwise you're going to use too much tahini (again)

[@x999uuu1]

like the 500g of dried should be treated as 1.1kg of canned chickpeas?

[@charlies4015]

Middle Eats - as ever, thanks for the fantastic recipe - 1 question: why no bicarbonate of soda with chick peas whilst they soak overnight? I've seen other recipes do this - do you think it spoils the chick peas?

[@OfficiallySarabi]

Personally i find that the taste of the baking soda carries over into the chickpeas when i do it that way. I don't mind the taste of baking soda, but it's not what i want in hummus lol.

[@charlies4015]

This is a really interesting technique. The ice method is the opposite of what Kenji at Serious Eats recommends in his recipe. I'd love to see you do a side-by-side comparison between the methods (and maybe trying both methods using chickpeas and chana dal to see if there's a noticeable difference.)

[@tiffanymueller]

I use a combination of this recipe and Kenji's. I follow all of the proportions and directions on this recipe, but I follow Kenjis advice of blending in a head of unpeeled garlic cloves in the lemon juice then run it through a fine mesh sieve before adding it to the food processor. It's excellent!

[@demonapiccolo]

The baking soda is such a great tip. My hummus came out super smooth! Thank you

[@AL-HD]

He said Hummus 53 times. That's 7.5 Hummus per minute.

[@i.0001]

For the best flavor, add no water to the hummus. Hummus usually tastes like overcooked mush if you follow the standard instructions. To avoid overcooked mush, you need two things: 1. top quality dried chickpeas that were picked when ripe. 2. minimize water infiltration when cooking. 1. Cheap chickpeas are often sold in big bags for cheap because they are low quality and picked underripe, and people have to turn them into overcooked mush to make them barely edible. That is the sad standard hummus. 2. Instead of boiling chickpeas, use a pressure cooker and steam them. Never submerge them in water. The flavor difference is ridiculous. However see 1. above - underripe chickpeas will never cook properly, and when steamed, they never turn soft of creamy. Finally, a vitamix deals with any skins. The flavor is much better using the above methods, and you will never want to eat overcooked chickpea mash sold in restaurants or stores again.

Interesting, I'll have to try this!

[@giantpunda2911]

This actually makes sense. I made this recipe as instructed to the letter and it ended up having that pasty gluey texture to it the same way that way overcooked and way overprocessed mashed potatoes can taste. Smooth AF though as per the video but very poor by comparison to what I usually make which just uses canned chickpeas that haven't been cooked further. In terms of the quality of chickpeas, how do you go about finding them? I wouldn't know where to start looking for ripe picked dried chickpeas.

[@dottiedavis355]

Some wonderful additions here - can’t wait to try! My base hummus contains olive oil as well as the lemon juice and tahini, (and just a shake of garlic powder - I’m not a garlic fan) and a splash or two of soy sauce. No one has been able to identify it yet, and it makes up for the umami lost from the garlic.

Thanks for these super tricks!

[@SYPCWAK]

Thanks! I've never made hummus before but now I want to.

[@KirkWinterrowd]

Thank you for this. My wife and I both make it but have never tried this process so we look forward to it.

[@marksando3082]

Ok I just made this and it's brilliant. It came out so smooth and creamy and I didn't have to fuss about with trying to remove the chick pea hulls. I added roasted garlic and garnished with red za'atar. Never buying hummus from the grocery again! Thank you!

[@coladordevictoria]

Im absolutely in love with your channel mate

[@jen_gem]

Simply amazing !

[@TheEmberKeeper]

Thank you so much!!! I've been making Humus my whole life, and your tip about over cooking the chik peas really makes it way smoother!! I followed your recipe every time since, and it always comes out fantastic!

[@lawrencejorgensen2914]

Amazing! Also seems way healthier than the recipes ive used with massive amoints of oil and whatnot. Will definitely make! 🤩

[@saifidrees1500]

Love your recipes, thank you! 🤗

Big fan of this vid. Completely free of cringey attitude and clickbait, easy instruction, great information. Love the channel name too

[@melimoo6656]

I recently moved and my local supermarket doesn't carry my fav hummus which is really cream and smoothy. I always dread making it myslf, because it always comes out super grainy and lumpy. But I've just put some chickpeas in a bowl for tomorrow. I'm SO excited!! Thank you so much. I love your channel. :)

[@kaybrown4010]

Your method looks like a winner! I’ve made roasted red pepper hummus with garlic and a smidge of olive oil.

[@hussamkamel4001]

Great tips and useful knowledge. All these variations are why a simple dish tastes so much different everywhere you try it.

[@zaynabmirza6199]

This is so useful!

[@gleann_cuilinn]

thank you for this advice, as a vegan i eat LOTS of hummus and i tried making it myself for a while but the texture was never right. now i can switch back to home made again!

[@erayk96]

I made this, it was my first time making hummus, it turned out great. Thanks!

[@jenniferpearmain9557]

Now I'm drooling!

[@pondgazer1]

Thank you for this. Who knew it was so scientific? I LOVE hummus and this is a perfect video as to how to make it well.

[@DVasyl]

Thank you!

[@Stone-vs9gw]

Thanks man! Turned out great. Its an excellent quick lunch for work. Keep up the good work

[@JenB.188]

Oh my goodness! I am so excited to try this!

[@Jonwisniewski04]

That super smooth consistency makes a huge difference. Store bought doesn’t even come close. Dig it!

[@F4T4LFL4W]

I am blown away by how good this hummus is. A night and day difference between the other recipes I have made for "creamy" hummus. This is my new go to.

[@lcomfort8683]

Thank you, so much!!
