Hummus: Now, With More Than Just Chickpeas

by Staff Writer

Hummus literally translates to "chickpeas" in Arabic. So, it goes without saying that traditional hummus is made with chickpeas. A lot of the recipes we found aren't true hummus in the traditional sense of the word, yet they play on the same texture or flavors of this popular spread. If you're a purist when it comes to hummus, you might want to divert your eyes. But if you're adventurous, then grab some pita bread and dig in!

Tabouli Hummus
Tabouli Hummus
by vanilla spice
I started with the usual hummus ingredients of chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. Next, I tossed in some fresh herbs typically found in tabouli (parsley and mint), and I even stirred in some diced tomato at the end. The key ingredient in this version though, the one that really takes it beyond plain hummus, was the addition of actual prepared tabouli.

I haven’t yet met a “hummus” I did not like. This one is another example of a tahini-less version, with the garbanzo beans standing up to justify the name.

Cauliflower Hummus

Today's low-carb "hummus" recipe, made with (surrrrprise!!) cauliflower instead of chickpeas. And I have to say, cauliflower has done the impossible again, converting itself into something it's not, this time lower-calorie, low-carb hummus. Really, there's no telling the difference.

I love hummus, but I never make it because I never have tahini on hand. Which is a horrible excuse, but it’s true. No tahini and still as creamy, thick and yummy as ever.

Don’t adjust your screens that is indeed a hot pink hue to the hummus. Don’t be alarmed it isn’t chemically altered it’s hue comes from robust roasted red beets. However, Roasted Pink Beet Hummus didn’t happen to have the same ring to it.

Butternut Squash Hummus

by vegan magic
Roasted squash livens up this Middle Eastern dish with its vibrant colour and sweetness. The added spices perfectly match this combination - besides the familiar flavours of cumin, tahini, lemon and garlic, there is the warmth of cinnamon and the hot kick of black pepper and cayenne. The flavours unravel in layers: the sweetness is quickly followed by the gentle heat that prolongs the taste.
