Raw Hummus that tastes good, Please help!
Posted by: brucet ()

Does anyone have any idea how to make raw Hummus that tastes like cooked hummus? I was at Cousins in Chicago and their hummus is AWESOME! I have heard they don't use chickpeas, so I'd guess something with sunflower seeds and tahini? Any and all help is greatly appreciated as I'm missing some good hummus. Also, if anyone knows how to make those great Go RAW crackers to go with the hummus, well; I'd just be on cloud nine!

Thanks
Bruce

Ani (forgot last name) has two really good raw hummus recipes in her book. One with zucchini and tahini and one with zucchini, tahini, sunflower seeds and olive. I ususally just eat the hummus with carrot and cucumber sticks.

Here's mine:

Sprout about 1/2 to 1 cup of garbanzo beans.
1/4 onion
1/2 Jalapeno (optional)
3-4 sprigs of cilantro
1/2 to 1 T of lemon juice
1 T of Tahini, optional
Sea salt (optional)
Diced tomatoes (optional)

Pulse or process the 4 ingredients in a high speed blender or processor. Process/blend longer if you want smoother.

Take out the blended ingredients into a bowl and mix in Tahini, lemon juice, and sea salt to taste. Also, I like to put in cut up diced tomatoes sometimes, depends on what you like.

I use this as a filler or as a dip. You can put it on lettuce leaves, raw bread, slice of tomato, etc. Enjoy.

In my above recipe, I forgot the minced garlic too taste, if desired. You could also blend it in with the ingredients. Cannot seem to locate the "Edit" button. Must have disappeared.

I just stumbled across this book while researching structured water. If you like Greek food you very likely will enjoy this un-cookbook.

Hi, I am new here and new to the world of raw food, my journey has just started, and found out the one thing that I love "hummous/houmous" contained cooked chickpeas!! sad smiley

I am so glad to find this thread, so will try the recipes, thank you!

Does it really taste the same??

to make raw homous taste really good you have to add lots of tahini...
and for those on 10% fat......?!

I think it's the tahini and garlic that really define the flavor of good hummus, not the chickpeas. I've really enjoyed Matt Amsden's raw zucchini hummus the few times I've made it. I usually reduce the tahini a little and increase the garlic.

I agree with frances, it's the tahini and garlic that does it. I've had delicious zucchini hummus and almond hummus.

I also make a divine raw hummus with chickpeas. There are two tricks to it:

1) Soak the chick peas for a couple of days and rinse them very thoroughly and FREQUENTLY;

2) Use plenty of garlic and tahini, plus some olive oil.

YMMV
