Hummus

[SeeSarahEat]

Since as far as I know, all hummus is made with oil, do we need to
avoid it? Is there a recipe for one that doesn't contain any oils?
Thanks for everything you are doing to help us with this challenge :)

You can make hummus without oil; Here is my oil-free recipe (http://happyherbivore.com/2009/06/hummus/) though it has vegan mayo, which is processed -- but I have something in the works! I'm going to test it this weekend!! It'll hopefully be on the blog on Tuesday!

Also, for my current recipe, I think you could use avocado instead of the mayo... or tahini (though that's not fat-free); 

Happy to help!

I only use oil in my hummus when I'm making it for a crowd who is generally used to the oily consistency. For myself, I thin it out with more lemon juice (I like it pretty lemony). You can add more water to thin it and try adding more tahini for flavor.

I was going to say you can make mayo yourself but all the recipes I know of use silken tofu. I know you can make your own block tofu but not sure about silken. But look forward to what you have up your sleeves :)

I wish I were creative enough to think "oh if I put X, Y and Z together I could make (item).

Exercise is the rent I pay for a healthy body. The higher the rent, the better the "house" I live in. I really like living in the "high rent district" and I bet if you just take yourself in hand and tell yourself you are going to do it and like it (or else), you'll end up loving the benefits so much that eventually you couldn't imagine not working out.

When I make hummus usually I just use chickpeas and tahini. The moisture in the chickpeas plus the natural oils in the tahini usually work out. Plus a little chopped up garlic, kosher salt, and a little lemon juice.

I don't have a tried and true recipe, but I made my own hummus ONCE with fresh baby spinach, a can of chick peas and some tahini..and yummo! it was lovely and chunky and delish <3

I like this recipe:

2 (15 ounce) cans chick peas, one drained, one with liquid
1/4 cup raw sesame seeds
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 teaspoon cumin
(salt to taste)

Combine all ingredients and blend in vita-mix, blender or food
processor until desired consistency is reached.

As promised, I mastered a fat-free (no oil or tahini) hummus recipe --
I was able to sub out the soy yog in my original recipe (http://
happyherbivore.com/2009/06/hummus/) with a whole substitute, and I
dare say I like this hummus even better.

I'll be posting the recipe during the first week of the challenge...
probably on day monday, may 3.
