      Let the hummus wars begin! My favorite recipe is from Ottolenghi. But I can tell you that the quality and source of ingredients are more important than the recipe. I catered fresh hummus for a grocery store a few years back and I can confirm that a change in just one ingredient gives a different result (I cooked my own chickpeas, no canned products). When you have to substitute a Turkish tahini for your usual Lebanese product, or change lemon suppliers, clients notice it immediately!

      Agreed, a helpful tip. Thanks.
      As a human on the smaller side with, yes, quite small hands, we do often have to find workarounds for things larger humans take for granted like squeezing a lemon, or opening a jar, or having multiple step stools to reach, well, everything. ;)
      The majority of most things in life rather it's clothing, or furniture, even your car chair, is all designed in mind for a certain 'standard' larger sized person and while this is probably no surprise for most, what many may not realize is that instructions often are made for the average person as well. You get used to problem solving but helpful tips are always appreciated.
      This gives me the idea for a video that I'm sure your Sorted community will appreciate. So, how about a video where the focus is "kitchen workarounds for everyone else", not quite a hacks video but in that realm. Make a video with workaround tips and/or unusual equipment uses for a variety of reasons, like; really small hands, lack of leverage for cutting hard things like whole butternut squash because you're short, lack of dexterity, and I'm sure you can figure out a number of great tips for various disabilities. Remember there is also a large aging population who may not have the same mobility and stamina as they had in their youth who may enjoy some tips to improve their access and success to kitchen greatness.

    I think it's funny that Ben added bacon to the dish which is neither kosher nor halal, so most people from the regions where hummus is traditional can't eat it😅 I kinda think Ben overthought this one. Also Jamie stuck closer to the original dish. Traditional hummus is ground up in a wet mill, which is great at making a really fine hummus without having to dilute it too much and although Ben's seemed real finely mixed I wouldn't appreciate how thin it is.

    I probably would have gone for Jamie's hummus, just on texture alone it looked closer to what I like. I'm not keen on super smooth hummus. Also the roasted garlic was a plus as that's my favourite way of using garlic. I also love making beetroot hummus with pomegranate molasses - a little sweeter than traditional hummus but so flavoursome.
    Just out of curiosity what type of food processors are you guys using - I have to replace my ten year old Moulinex and am looking for something a little more versatile.

    For me, I love a roasted garlic hummus so Spaff is more in line with what I'd want, but my ideal hummus texture lies somewhere in between the two. Spaff's was too gloopy, but Ebber's was too soupy. Although I do love lemon and garlic blended together. There's a Lebanese sauce called toum or taum, and it is absolutely fantastic on roasted chicken or kebab/schwarma.

    • @timbubu3498
      @timbubu3498 2 года назад +38

      Next time you're making Hummus, take dry chickpeas, soak them overnight, then drain. Heat a saucepan over medium heat, add the chickpeas with a tiny bit of oil and then add baking soda( about a 1 1/2 teaspoons for like two cans worth of chickpeas). Just let them heat up for a couple of minutes with the soda, it might foam or bubble a bit. Then after maybe 5 to 10 minutes, add water and cook them. After a bit the skins and "scum" will rise to the top and you can just skim them off. :)

    You don't have to use top notch chickpeas, tinned versions are fine. I personally prefer to use the dried version and let it soak in water before cooking
    As always, great video and great content! Thanks you Sorted!! :)
    Edit: fun fact. While we have an academically correct word for chickpeas in Hebrew, they're widely known and refered to as "Hummus" or "Gargir(ay) Hummus" (singular/plural) which roughly translates to Hummus grain / peas

    Another hot tip I have to parrot out, as I've done to a few other youtubers' hummus videos, is to follow Kenji's guide on seriouseats, and blend the hummus in a blender, right after boiling them.
    Ben was close, but go with dried beans, boil for an hour, and use a blender, to straight up liquefy them for an impossibly smooth hummus. While hot, the gelled starches are way less viscous, which makes blending possible.

Chickpeas take up very much water and it fluffs up great and you get the brightest most creamy and fluffy hummus. The best,, period.

      Stick blender is the way forward; blend in the jars you are going to keep the hummus in and it's a lot less to clean up.
      Cook dried chickpeas (then peel or not), tahini, lemon/lime juice, salt, cumin, garlic, olive oil, paprika/chilli powder, black pepper...
      Blitz for 20/30 seconds using some of the aquafaba for texture with your stick blender and you are sorted.
      The 5+ minutes in a blender is a ridiculous faff and just makes more things to clean.
      Add paprika/chilli either at the end or during blending to taste.
      Cover with a good olive oil and it lasts a lot longer and tastes better after a few days.

    Spaf got it right it’s how we make humus here in the Middle East of course we use less premium on average whatever we can get almost we can get most of the time we don’t always have the possibility of going with premium ingredients but it’s how we pretty much do it with one (or two exceptions we don’t generally use ice cubes) exception and that is usually the one in the middle is the more common tihina that we use. We also tend to use more lemon, the variations in hummus tend to be how much Tahini (we call it Tehina) to the amount of hummus the variations on a theme can be there is green hummus which is usually with Green coriander leaves and parsley that’s one of variation that’s very common and the others out what did to him and has usually on top some garnish and it’s not really a garnish because it actually enhances the flavor can be everything from hot chili green chili peppers to do a combination of in a sprinkling of paprika and some green spices which is usually not always zaatar and it’s not the spice zaatar or the combination there that most people in the west know it is the actual plant known as zaatar which is Middle Eastern marjoram i’m not sure voice to text is getting the word right but I hope you get the idea. It grows wild in some places here and I’ve actually picked it wild it looks a lot like oregano but it isn’t it has a distinct smell and taste. Like I said I’ve seen variations on a theme there’s a macrobiotic version which uses umeboshi plum, the paste of it anyway to give what you would call that umami flavor i’m using voice to text doesn’t spell things the way I would spell them like the word flavor for example among other things that you do with what you got this is what I got and you physically handicapped you’re lucky if I what you get to text is close to what you want. Spaff toppings that he made with the lamb it’s so close it looks so close to stuff we serve here. But Ebbers very small version is what a lot of people like around here me personally I like the second version that’s because that’s how I know how much as you call it tahini we don’t call it that but OK isn’t it that usually means how much fat is in it some people like us and some people like a thick it’s kind of a peas porridge thing. I like hummus to taste like hummus, that’s just me, in the past when I was physically able hi used to also put in variations sometimes I would have the macrobiotic touch and sometimes I would just do the spit thing add more homeless balls to make it crunchy I say crunchy it’s not really crunchy sound like chips it’s like more texture and sometimes I would add the greens to make it more green hummus but usually I like to add a lot of lemon to my hummus and gives it a real punch that sometimes you’re missing in the food that you’re making do you want it to complement it also I like lemons and they grow around here practically wild do you know it would’ve gone really good with what Spaff made Here in the middle of the east we have a salad if you can call the salad I call it a condiment it consists of onions with olive oil lemon juice and sumac light on the lemon juice just like two drops of lemon juice to the olive oil I say two drops more or less you mix this with sumac purple spice and what you get is deliciousness I mean you wouldn’t think of that with raw onions but it is absolutely delicious just remember you have to let it soak in the olive oil and the sumac like I said a few drops of lemon to give it a bit of a cake I like lemons most people don’t but anyway let it sit in that for about 30 minutes some people do it for hours yeah that goes with your hummus and whatever you’re going to put in your pizza that should be PITA not Pizza but what can I do this is voice to text and it will do what it wants not what I wanted to do I hope you understand this you’ve made me very hungry and it’s the middle of the night and I am not going to go eating.
