Favorite brand/flavor of hummus?

[Anonymous]

Another vote for homemade - I soak dry chick peas the night before and pressure cook them. When cooled, I add couple cloves garlic, olive oil, lemon, corriander, jalapeno, salt, tahini, water and paprika. Blend. I don't have amounts but everything to taste.

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.

I love mine too, and do someting similar:

2 cans chickpeas (one drained one not)
Juice from a whole squeezed lemon
Roasted garlic (not raw, wayyy too sharp, if you have no time to roast, then powdered, just not raw)
1/4 sesame seeds
1Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt/Pepper to taste
**I like to throw in a whole jalapeno

I blend al of this in my Vitamix-Amazing! I can't go store bought anymore.

Attillas on Columbia Pike- they have a takeout part. It is better than homeade!

Tribe, whatever the plainest flavor is.

I fourth Lebanese Taverna as the fresh made in-house hummus

Cava for grocery store hummus

Sabra fan here. Greek olive is my favorite.

Asmar's extra garlic. Closest to homemade hands down. Locally made:

At Whole Foods and Yes! Organics.

Sabra uses a soybean/canola blend instead of olive oil! :p

Asmar's Original -- the only brand DH will eat. Smooth and not spicy. DS likes it too.

Cava Original -- for me. Love the texture and the flavor.

Lebanese Taverna -- for me. Yum Yum!

Asmar's is the best ever!!

[Anonymous]

Cava for sure!

Cava is good.
Cooks Illustrated has recommended Sabra hummus as their top grocery store pick.

Although I have made hummus and it's good, I don't always have the ingredients on hand. For convenience, kids and I also love Sabra (garlic with the chopped garlic in the middle).

I used to love Tribe's jalapeño version but haven't been able to find it in years. Sabra is too smooth and oily for me.

Make your own. All the store bought brands have crap ingredients and GMOs.
