Turbo Hummus

This is yummy. I don’t know if the parsley is necessary. I used peanut powder instead of peanut butter. I love tahini, but unfortunately I have some kind of reaction to it. Peanut is a decent substitute for tahini. 

This was my first attempt at making hummus. I thought the addition of peanut butter was odd but gave it a go. I can’t taste the peanut butter at all. Overall, I thought it was very good. Too much lemon for my taste. I will make again but with less lemon.

This is an awesome recipe! Great with toasted pita wedges.Another GREAT recipe Alton

I like most of Alton’s stuff, but the PB in this is weird.

I added too much salt (my error, not the recipe’s and substituted lime for lemon (it was on sale… other then my salty mistake, absolutely excellent. Will be making again!

Serve really cold with warm or toasted pitas. This will melt in your mouth! So easy and yummy – I usually make double batches. One for me, one to share. I have many people in the past ask where I got the recipe – they can’t believe it has peanut butter in it!

After reading the other “less positive” reviews, I was disappointed…

I used two tablespoons of peanut butter, but couldn’t get the same “peanut butteriness” they did… I guess because I didn’t have Jift or Skuppy on hand, with all the added sugar, and rather had a no name organic, no sugar added, gotta-stir-the-top quarter-jar-before-use kind is why it turned out like plain ol’ regular great tasting hummus. I’ll buy the crappiest store brand or sunday-paper-coupon brand next week… as if canned chickpeas wasn’t enough of a clue as to what would be expected.

His other hummus recipe is spot on, though.

Wow, is this good eats or what! Used a can of organic garbanzos, the juice and zest of one lemon, a good handful of roughly chopped flat leaf parsley, some tahini (sesame butter in place of the peanut butter cuz I had it, and a light flavored olive oil. No way the store-bought hummus can even come close.

I’d made some pita flatbreads the other day, so just cut them up and baked them for 10 minutes in a 350 oven (sprinkled with fresh ground sea salt and a bit of EVOO to make the perfect vehicle for dipping into the hummus.

Next time I might try adding a little heat via red pepper flakes!

You have yet to disappoint me Alton Brown. This is yummy!

I found this recipe while looking for healthy snacks for my toddler. It was super easy, and made a lot! I give it 4/5 because I did tweak it a little based on the other recomendations. I added a dash of sesame seed oil at the end, and also a roasted red bell pepper. My 15 month old son loved it, as did I!
