Favorite brand/flavor of hummus?

[Anonymous]

OP here. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I guess I will have to try Sabra! To the PP asking about the TJ's hummus. It was actually like a party tray with 4 different kinds. Plain, garlic, red pepper, and parsley scallion. So yummy!

My recipe is 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained, 0.25 cup each of water, olive oil, and tahini, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic, pinch of salt, paprika or some kind of dried chili pepper. Throw everything in food processor, process to desired smoothness. So easy, and you can adjust amounts to match your preferences.
I think Alton Brown also just did hummus on his show, starting from dried chickpeas which he cooks in a slow-cooker for creamy texture.

Thanks for this recipe! It sounds really easy and delicious!

Cava is very good, locally made, small batches, fresh.

Also, Lebanese Taverna has very good hummus that you can get as a carry out item.

(I actually don't like Sabra. I think it has an odd taste, maybe because of the vegetable oil blend or because of the seasonings that are used.)

Another Sabra fan here!

Me too! So funny how everyone loves this brand. I really like the texture and taste, and it's available at Giant. My daughter and I are hummus junkies.

Try Sabra Hummus. It is by far my #1. All of the flavors are great. Start with the roasted garlic.

I like Cedars. More chick-pea and less creamy taste. Also much lower in fat than Sabra.

I agree that the Sabra tastes too chemical-ish. And too salty for me. I lived in the ME, and I think that Hannah tastes better than Sabra. Have also enjoyed the Cedars.

Best, though, is to make it yourself with a can of chickpeas, lots of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, tahini, sea salt, white pepper, and cumin. Blend in the Cuisinart until super smooth. When serving, drizzle more olive oil and sprinkle a little sumac on top.

Forgot to add, drain the chickpeas.

Agree! Another Sabra vote. Yum.

us too...

I have been told by the men in my house (ages 3 and 40) that this is the only brand they like now. I am no longer allowed to get the fancy flavors. I also get it at Costco like a PP mentioned.

I go to Sam's Market on Rockville Pike - they make the hummus themselves and it is delicious. They are Iranian and it tastes a little different from the hummus at lebanese taverna.

I second Lebanese Taverna.

Sabra or Tribe Origins. Not regular Tribe.

Homemade. Easy and delish!
