(THIS PART IS NOT RECIPE) The difference between fresh homemade hummus and refrigerated store-bought is so vast that I defy you to give two squats about the texture and flavor difference between this hummus, and a hummus where dried chickpeas were soaked overnight, boiled with baking soda, painstakingly hand-skinned for ten minutes, and blended in precious stages. Plus, this method has more fiber, and Americans are in a fiber crisis, so you need the hummus immediately, not one metric fusspot from now.

I'm relieved that The Hummus Technique That Saved America is unrelated to The Sort Of Thing That Built America.* *see: 2023-12-23

Yes, this is Correct. Thank you.

An alternate version I do often is: chickpeas, tahini, this super good harissa hot sauce i like. End of ingredients

Fuckin’ cat in the hummus man. Rippin’ a binger. Fuckin’ hell dogg.

Nice callback to the strip where Cornelius gets blacked out on Energy Whiskey and eats Winnie-the-Pooh's neck.

The one from Zankou Chicken, which I'm pretty sure is only in LA/southern California. They sell it by the pint

Living in the UK now and these folks here believe a salad is anything covered in mayonnaise. Theres nary a green to be found outside of peas and tender stem broccoli. Dont even get me started on the “salad dressings” available in the stores. But the custard is on point.

HUMMUS REPORT: Turned out great, especially for the effort outlay! However, in my hubris I added an extra clove of garlic which I would not recommend unless you are racist against vampires.

You can deskin canned chickpeas pretty effectively by wrapping them in a dishtowel like a fat joint and rolling it back and forth with your hands on top. That will deskin the majority of them in a few seconds. My arab in-laws swear olive oil goes on top at service not in the mix, but I tried your recipe and it tastes dank so who am I to argue? (I'm also on team who gives a f if the skins are still in it, but the technique is sound.)

Achewood

That’s cool, you mean with canned not dry right? (I have not looked closely at dried chickpeas in a long time and don’t even know if this would be possible). Very cool that you tried the recipe, would you adjust it personally along any dimension?
