what do you like to put in hummus?

[Aradia]

I'm making a big batch and want to do a few different flavourings. I'll put roasted red pepper in one lot and roasted garlic in another.

what's your favourite addition?

I'm afraid I haven't been very adventurous adding things to homemade hummus, but I quite like the avocado hummus that you can sometimes buy here. I imagine you just mash it and add it although you might need extra lemon juice to stop it going brown.

So far, I like my hummus best when it's very simple. So just tahini, garlic, salt, maybe some oil with the chickpeas... but I think bell pepper in there can be very good as well. I'm gonna watch this thread to get ideas too :D

I've had lime and coriander hummus, chilli hummus, hummus with pesto, hummus with chickpeas, all lovely but the best hummus is the one with the most garlic!

[emmy]

I love roast pepper hummus,
Also lemon and coriander. I've never made it but the shop bought stuff is awesome so the homemade stuff has got to be even better!

[Sluggie]

Caramelised onions - or -
Harissa - or -
Caraway and poppy seeds with extra lemon juice

[sugarmouse]

All my faves already mentioned!

But I also sometimes put a few chickpeas in olive oil at the bottom of the serving dish I love doing that. Donno why!
Roast tomatos.
Mixed Olives
Sundried tomatos
Rosemary
Black pepper
Differnt beans
Basil
Citrus peel
Roast corn
Or just roast the chcikpeas before making the hummus for adiffernt flavour

Oooh, pesto. That's a good idea. I had a spicy cilantro hummus once that I think had jalapenos in it.

When I first saw this thread in new posts it was right next to "Do you trim your pubic hair?". Now there's a pleasant thought...

[absentmindedfan]

Harissa!

[Ruby Rose]

Ohh, you just inspired me to whip up some hummus with the left over sundried tomatoes from Christmas! Yummm. And now I've just seen AMF's post, and I remember I've got harissa hiding away at the back of the fridge. I sense a hummus fiesta coming on!

[cedarblue]

what i DON'T put in hummus any more is tahini paste, it takes away the chickpea taste and can add a bitterness if overdone

[eco]

I had roasted butternut squash houmous (shop bought) yesterday for the first time, it was delicious. I also really like lemon and coriander.

Caramelised onions

hahaha pube hummous!!! suppose we could serve it up to gordon ramsey... tit for tat and all that...

I'll often add a generous handful of either spinach or parsley.

My favourite hummus recipe is in Vive Le Vegan! by Dreena Burton - apart from the usual ingredients for a classic hummus, it has toasted sesame oil which takes it to a whole new level of divine.

I like green olives - this does better with a coarser chopped hummus blend, and I use very little tahini. The green olives gives it flavor, and you get a few green olive chunks that you end up searching for so you can eat them first.

That sounds yummy - I'll have to try it.
