Instructions
- You can make extra-creamy hummus using chickpea flour instead of whole chickpeas. (Look for the flour at specialty and health-food stores.) Simmer 2 3/4 cups salted water. Whisk in 3/4 cup chickpea flour to make a paste and cook 2 minutes. Puree with 1/4 cup tahini, 3 tablespoons olive oil and the zest and juice of 1 lemon. Toast 1/4 teaspoon each cumin and fennel seeds in a skillet; add some red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons olive oil and cook 30 seconds. Serve warm, drizzled with the spiced oil and topped with parsley.
Reviews
Wasn’t big on the added items in this recipe, but doing this with Chickpea flour is a game changer & so much less work. It is home-made and with the chickpea flour/water recipe, you can make any kind of hummus. I made avocado/cilantro/Chipotle peppers with a smidgen of adobo sauce….yum 🙂
Much too liquidy and starchy tasting.
You’ve got to add a pinch of salt and most of all..vinegar! Vinegar really brings the full flavour out. Ideally add lemon juice, garlic, pepper and if you’re feeling inventive, a touch of cinnamon, cumin, paprika, coriander, tumeric, clove
Thanks so much for posting this recipe. I added grated garlic and cut it down for the first try. It’s so great to have hummus ready any time without cooking the garbanzo beans first. I used red pepper seeds and paprika as well. The consistency isn’t like that of commercial hummus. However, for my purposes, I liked the consistency of this. It reminded me of egg salad. I had it on celery for a snack. I bought the flour from the health food store. The owner ordered it for me. If making a special trip to the local Whole Foods or the like, call first.
Made it for a party. Total embarrassment.
This was pretty gross. Don’t waste your time. Use real chick peas
Foul. This is so tasteless using only chickpea flour. May as well spend the extra time skinning the garbanzos and getting a slightly thicker but more delicious hummus.
Where’s the garlic?
Finding this recipe was a delight! I’ve bought ready made hummus, I’ve used the dry hummus mix you can find at some stores selling bulk foods, and I’ve contemplated making my own from chickpeas.
But THIS! So easy, so creamy, and so doggone good! You might have to really do some running around to find the garbanzo flour, but it’s out there! The best place is a market specializing in Indian/Pakistani foods. That will also be the cheapest source as well. You can also find it in health food stores, but expect to pay more.
Tinker with the recipe, feel free to play with the additions, once you get the garbanzo flour cooked with water, it’s relly a palette for your own creativity.
But some nutritional information would be nice…
