I soak the small chick peas in water and baking soda over night ... no salt

then I peel the skins off after boiling

The grinding for 3 min is absolutly needed

Added the cumin and paprika and salt and whirl

Super light and creamy!
I could eat this all day long!

WOW

Z zippy12 that sounds and looks awesome! I need to try making it like that with just the baking soda.

Squeezing those little dudes out of their skins is about a pain. Man I wish there was an easier way.

Never had Hummus, but you certainly make it look good!!
Nice Job!
Like.

Yummus!

 

[zippy12]

This is the way to make it! use the small dried chick peas.... You will eat this 24/7

It looks good, Zippy.
But pealing chick peas? Holy Mackerel!
What does the baking soda do for the chick peas?

A common issue is that when the beans are soaked in water the environment is too acidic for their cellulose-based cells. Baking soda, a leavener, swoops in to save the day by raising the pH levels of the water, making the chickpeas more soluble and thus able to cook more quickly

Zippy I have never tried Hummas ! I have cooked dry beans using baking soda,they cook up real fast no pre-soak needed.

Nice Hummus, looks real creamy. Used to make my own quite a bit but gotten lazy and buy it nowadays.

I’ll bring the chips!

 

[zippy12]

Thanks Zippy!
I did make some Humus a while back, but I used canned chickpeas.
How difficult is the pealing process?
IIRC, the only thing I've pealed was blanched tomatoes, and those were really easy when blanched. But 'mators are a bit larger than peas..

 

[zippy12]

The peeling does take some time, but the recipe does not mention it. I feel it makes the hummus real creamy... so try it both ways.

Ditch the canned chick peas. Get small dried CP's.

Some very nice looking hummus, Zippy. Like!

The recipe I've used for hummus for many years is very similar to the one you used and I have no problem with the skins or a need for peeling. Comparing the two recipes there's only one significant difference I see and that's during the cooking stage. In step 2 of the recipe you used, it says to bring the water and baking soda to a boil, add the chickpeas, then reduce to simmer for 40-50 minutes. In the recipe I use, the chickpeas, after they've been soaked overnight and drained, are added to a dry sauce pan, along with the baking soda, and cooked over high heat for 3 minutes while being constantly stirred. Then, water is added, brought to a boil where it remains, and the chickpeas are cooked for 10-20 minutes, depending upon the size and age of the chickpeas. When this stage is finished, the chickpeas are very soft and tender, but not mushy.

During the cooking, the skins float to the surface and I just skim them off with a fine mesh strainer. What residual skins that remain attached, if any, come off easily when I drain and rinse the chick peas.

The recipe looks easy.
I wonder, ever considered lightly smoking the dry chickpeas before starting?
(Just to try giving some a little Ta-Wang...)
Probably wash off... I'd guess.

 

[zippy12]

not wash off ... become liquid smoke

 

[MeatSkull]

Gonna have to try this one!

 

[noboundaries]

What? No garlic!

I've made hummus out of just about every bean or pea imaginable, but it's NEVER looked THAT smooth. Wow. Likee!

 

[MeatSkull]

Actually when I make mine I chop the dried garbanzos in the coffee grinder first, not powder but like course sugar. Then into my pressure cooker with fresh garlic and badura. Makes the processing easier.

 

[Lonzinomaker]

Try using an instant pot or pressure cooker to cook the garbonzos. No need to soak overnight. Put beans in Instant pot, add some garlic and onion, set timer for 35 min. Let pot do natural release.
