take me to the feeling
I take back most of what I was saying about shopbought hummus earlier. I'm pissed on white wine right now and the Coop hummus I've just eaten was as garlicky as a Frenchman.* It's all good.

Is THE brand for hummus in UK, it's imported from Israel, it's very nice. You can buy it in the Tesco on Goodge St and Jewish shops in Golders. I am a hummus snob and wouldn't eat UK maufactured stuff if you paid me!! Yes, Hummus Bro's on Wardour St are good (and family friends of mine!).

keep y'mouth shut. mints will work temporarily and then people will start looking round for the source of minty garlickyness. then in a few hours the garlic will start coming out on your skin (if it hasn't already). I'm having garlicky cheese on toast for tea.muaahahaahhahha.

I make houmus all the time. My top tip is to warm the oil in a pan, add the garlic, salt and pepper and a little nutmeg. When the garlic has melted a little (really is just a warm, not a cook) then add the tahini and lemon juice and stir.
You can taste the mix and get it right before mixing it with the chick peas and blending it.
I chuck in chopped parsely or coriander sometimes.
I tried dry chick peas a few times, and came to the conclusion that the expense, effort and flavour was worse than tinned chickpeas.

my housemate introduced me to my current favourite sandwich - hummus, mature cheddar and salami. absolutely delicious and just as good (if not better) when made as a toastie. i fucking love hummus and its nice to add to a pizza at the last minute (it goes a funny colour/texture if you put it on from the start).

For the complete chick pea overload I always line my pitta with lashing of hummus when I do falafels. Add some hot chilli sauce, garlic mayo, tomato salsa to cut through the tahini, a bit of salad and you have created food heaven.

These are illegal imports according to EU trading rules with Israel. Yarden products are made on the Katzrin settlement in the Golan Heights. It shouldn't be labelled as coming from Israel, and it couldn't be imported under the EU/Israel Association agreement if it was labelled as coming from a settlement in the Occupied Territories.Manmasi said:

Heh, one way of ensuring I don't buy a product is to label it as "Made In Israel". So they're free to carry on doing so, because I can't see them ever saying "Made in land we stole from our neighbours and now occupy in violation of international law" and fooling me into buying the stuff...ymu said:

Agreed, but whilst not everyone consciously boycotts Israeli goods, many would balk at buying anything from the settlements (indeed, many Israelis avoid buying stuff from the settlements). Given that the EU doesn't allow the import of produce from the settlements but Israel consistently gets away with illegally labelling these products as "made in Israel", it's at least useful to know where brands such as Yarden, Ahava, Achva Halva and Beigal are really made.pembrokestephen said:

Yes. There are two ways.Greebozz said:
One is to eat it.
The other is to freeze it. I suggest freezing it into moderately sized portions, otherwise you have to defrost a big fuckoff pile of it just to get a bit to go with yer falafels...

I love houmous, and luckily live near a couple of good mediterranean stores that sell big tubs of the stuff for the same price as the poxy little ones they sell in supermarkets. Lovely in pittas with roasted vegetables and halloumi cheese.
I quite fancy making my own though. Is it possible without a blender?

course it is. i expect it'll be quite a tedious job, mind...STFC said:
mortar & pestle, crush all the chickpeas up as small as you can be bothered, same with the garlic, then mix in all the other ingredients. it'll probably be a lot coarser than a blended hummus, but it'll still taste lush.
i'd buy a food processer though - you can pick 'em up cheap enough, and they're very useful.
Mmmhh I love hummus/houmus/etc...
I usually make my own but Sainsbury's do a really nice lemon and coriander one, mmmmmhhh!! Actually, I'm gonna make that today.
