HOW TO MAKE OUR HUMMUS:
Authentic hummus: love it, but that’s not exactly what I’m talking about here. This is the Lindsay-making-hummus-at-home-in-less-than-30-minutes hummus variety. Which actually is my favorite variety, because spending 30 minutes making something that lasts for lots of lunches is a time steal. In a good way. Know this. You need to peel the skins! Peel.the.skins. Peeeeel the skins. Unless you have some sort of amazing blender that can whoosh anything, everything, one hundred percent smooth and creamy – does that even exist? add that to my Christmas wishlist – I highly recommend taking the time to peel the skins off the cooked (for me, canned) chickpeas. There’s not a nice way to say it. It’s annoying to peel skins off of tiny little chickpeas. You’re going to start a chickpea peeling party, but then it’s going to be sort of boring and you’re going to feel crabby at me. I would like to say this to you in that moment: try doing it in 100 degree heat with insane dogs barking in the background and a fan blowing the stray skins all over the place! Nope. Lie. What I actually want to say to you in that moment is that it will be done soon and it’s worth it. Really. Every time I do it, I’m glad. The texture is so much better when you peel the skins off. I mean, look at that silky smoothness. Now, I think you should eat that silky smoothness. On a pita or cracker or vegetable or how bout on a sandwich? With turkey and sprouts and thick, soft grainy bread? I’ve never craved sprouts on a sandwich more than I do right now. Update! I didn’t have this at the time I wrote this post, but for all my blended stuff now, including this hummus, I always have the best results with my Blendtec Designer Series Blender. If you’re in the market for a new grown up blender, this has your name all over it. Before we did that video, I said to myself, I’ll have wet hair and it won’t be that big of a deal. 4.3 from 41 reviews After we did that video, I said to myself, Lindsay. Do your hair. And get a haircut. Oh, the Philippines… Disclaimer: this post contains affiliate links.
