The creamy and delicious chickpea dip, also called hummus in oriental cuisine, is traditionally combined with other mezze such as falafel, baba ganoush or tabouleh, as well as fresh pita bread. This mixed appetizer platter is not only perfect for a large group, but also holds a special place in many people's hearts and kitchens. While most people think of hummus as a simple dip or spread, it can be used in a variety of ways to make delicious dishes - from creamy pasta to salad dressing.
Hummus dip is a popular snack between meals or as an appetizer with bread, raw vegetables and olive oil. However, its potential as a pasta or salad dressing is relatively unknown. To take hummus out of its mundane existence as a dip, we've put together some unusual hummus recipes that will leave you wanting more. True hummus lovers know that you can never get enough of this creamy delicacy!
Hummus can be combined with bread, such as Turkish pita bread, or vegetable sticks. It is also great for buffets or as a delicious party snack. The main ingredients for almost all hummus recipes are chickpeas and the oriental sesame paste tahini or tahina. You can use canned or jarred chickpeas, or dried chickpeas that you soak overnight. Together with olive oil, lime or lemon juice, garlic and various spices such as cumin and paprika, you get a smooth, creamy hummus dip.
In addition to the classic hummus recipe, there are also more unusual and tasty variations such as avocado hummus, paprika hummus, saffron-orange hummus and chestnut hummus. For those with a sweet tooth, chocolate hummus is a great and easy substitute for chocolate cream. Hummus in a jar is also great for a picnic or to take to the office. If there are leftovers, the creamy oriental dip will keep well refrigerated and covered for 1 to 2 days.
Discover delicious bowl recipes with hummus, for example the Mediterranean Bowl with quinoa or the Rainbow Bowl with lots of colorful vegetables. Sandwiches with hummus are also great for a simple dinner. With roasted vegetables, poached eggs, avocado or smoked tofu, you can quickly create a great sandwich. Baked vegetables are also easy to prepare and go great with a delicious dip. Especially popular in vegan and vegetarian cuisine are dishes with hummus. You can make a falafel wrap or a vegan kebab with hummus!
Chickpeas are the main ingredient in hummus and are not picky about the other ingredients. The variety of hummus recipes is simply amazing and a must for anyone who likes to experiment with new flavors and textures.
