Looks great. I'm not keen on chickpeas but so many vegan recipes are chickpeas.Thanks!

Needs a lot more garlic

[@VeganRecipes.official]

I think there are no rules for taste. It always depends in how strong you like the spices. 💚

[@angelarose7573]

@@VeganRecipes.official that’s very true. I do love my traditional hummus. I also love to taste the garlic. 😂😂. I’ll try it with red lentils. Thanks for sharing.

[@VeganRecipes.official]

Give it a try 💚

[@user-zl1wk3um1m]

So add more re garlic.

[@barefacedquestions]

Does blender make a diffe rence in the texture of hummus compared to a food processor?

[@VeganRecipes.official]

Hello! Yes of course. A food processor is stronger and it will get softer and smoothier. Our Mixer is very good but food processor is far better 💚

Thank you very much Translater helped me 🥰

[@adeleburrows9013]

This doesn’t look as firm as the chic pea or black bean hummus I normally make. Does it firm up as it sits? If not, I might try using less water and see how that works.

[@VeganRecipes.official]

Hello. If you want it thicker, than use less water and add more If needed. We like it like that, so we can use it also for salad or dip 😊 and it will not firm up that much. 💚

[@rahityasai9049]

Looks Yummy! What is its shelf life?

[@VeganRecipes.official]

Hey thanks 😊 Sorry, I don't understand the question.

[@globalcitizenn]

@@VeganRecipes.official They meant how long can it be stored? Does it need to be refrigerated?

[@VeganRecipes.official]

Thank you for your help 👍🏼

[@VeganRecipes.official]

You can keep it in the fridge for about 5 days. 💚

How does it taste

[@VeganRecipes.official]

Hello! It taste like hummus. But softer. 💚

[@gabrielafonseca4034]

I like chick peas, but I can't find them canned or they are very expensive, so I have to get the raw ones an pressure cook them forever

[@VeganRecipes.official]

Okay! In germany you get them canned everywhere 🙈 But we don't like them to much. That's why we made this recipe with red lentils

[@rhondafox64]

GARLIC

[@VeganRecipes.official]

We love garlic 🥰

[@rosiemason7452]

There’s no mention of garlic in the list of ingredients in the description box.

[@pennynickels5216]

Can it be frozen???

[@VeganRecipes.official]

I never tried before. But why not?

[@libbyadler9360]

I do not use chickpeaa. Good to know.

[@VeganRecipes.official]

We also don't use chickpeas often. Red Lentils are super as alternative. 🌱

[@SergePavlovsky]

you can put lemon in blender, not just lemon juice. and blender could grate garlic

[@VeganRecipes.official]

Of we could, but we didn't 🙂

[@therealtulip]

Interesting that the orange color of the lentils doesn’t show through

[@VeganRecipes.official]

No, if you boil them very soft, they loose the colour. They get more golden.

[@SergePavlovsky]

cumin это зира, а не тмин. тмин это caraway

[@VeganRecipes.official]

There are different types of caraway... I'm sorry if it brings confusion.

[@SergePavlovsky]

@@VeganRecipes.official you can check correct translation by looking at wikipedia page in different languages. cumin translates to russian as зира, rather than тмин

🤣 what a grumpy a-hole you are! Here, have a cute puppy emoji and enjoy your hummus 🐶

[@PM-gx2bp]

I like just about everything but I can’t stand the taste of hummus. It is so off putting and I don’t know what it is.

[@VeganRecipes.official]

Have you ever tried to do it without tahini? Tahini is having a strong taste and there is no written rule that you have to add it. 😊 Sometimes I just don't add it and of course it taste different

[@soleil771]

I wanted to prepare some hummus lately but didn't have any tahini left. So I used almond purée- it was delicious and I prefer this new recipe to my classical hummus. 😋😋😋

[@rubylove8041]

I use cashew butter in my hummus, delicious.

[@acs4410]

Maybe u don’t like cumin ?

[@pomx2900]

Not so much "protein packed", as chickpeas have twice as much protein per 100g. Something different, though.

[@VeganRecipes.official]

For that WE don't like chickpeas so much, this is a good alternative and not the only food to get protein

[@sylvialenz1076]

The music sucks!!!

Ok

[@suzannes5888]

Same recipe as for hummus...just switch the beans - boring nothing we all don't already do :(

[@VeganRecipes.official]

Hello! Of course this is nothing new! But this are lentils and not beans. 🙂 Have a nice weekend

[@christian-ir3lr]

Aren't you the clever one!! Maybe you are too good for the rest of us? By the way, I personally didn't know you could do hummus with red lentils.

[@suzannes5888]

@christian-ir3lr Yes, you can use any bean, you may need to adjust the amount of tahini, garlic, salt and olive you use (up/or down) based on the type of bean you switch out. Some folks will also use half chickpeas and and half endamame for a protein boost. Some also will add olives, beet puree, roasted peppers, marinated artichokes, etc. to the base recipe for fun/color/flavor. It's a very flexible recipe and only takes 5 minutes to make. I've been making hummus for decades - especially if I just need a quick snack to fill up. Enjoy.

[@fromp2u]

i like this substitution. love hummus but chickpeas give me gas. maybe the lentils won't. will give it a try. thank you!

[@shubhamyadav-fj2iq]

Wtf.. how does it taste coz I'm making red lentils pancake

[@VeganRecipes.official]

It tastes very nice. Soft and smooth, like hummus but better :)
