I was SO SKEPTICAL when I first watched this. Then I followed your recipe step by step, I even went to the middle eastern grocery store to buy Lebanon-imported tahini. It turned out amazing and I didn’t have to remove any of the skin! This is hands down the best recipe I’ve ever tried!!! The only thing different I did was roasted my garlic in the oven until it was soft and mushy, then I added in 2 tsp of that instead of minced garlic. I added a little extra more lemon juice as well, but a little less tahini. So so so silky smooth, everyone needs to go make this now!
Just like pasta water, boiled chickpeas water can be used to reboil pasta, dilute pasta sauce, make soups, curries and aquafaba. Best of all, it can be frozen once it cools down, to be used in future.
I tried this recipe last night - with a healthy dose of skepticism. My husband and I took the first bite wondering what we needed to tweak 'for the next time'. One bite - blank look, second bite, blank look, third bite, 'it's pretty fucking good, right?' 'YES! IT IS!' The hummus' flavours fully bloom after 6 hours - but even before that, there really weren't any changes we wanted to make to it. We live in Dubai - this city is lousy with some of the best hummus in the world. After this recipe, we will never be ordering hummus again.
I actually made this a week ago, before this video was out. I have researched Yotam and Sami's work. This is by far the best Hummus that I have had. It was very easy to make and well worth the tiny effort. It truly is way better than store bought, including Sabra. I do like the Sabra too, but it still doesn't compare for my taste. Make sure to use quality Tahini and olive oil. Enjoy.
Hmm...baking soda on pinto or black beans for really smooth frijoles! Yum! Maybe even just for my next pot of beans. They might get past the "crunchy" phase, quicker. Nice to see a professional chef who has those little kitchen oopses, like the rest of us!
Another note...if you put the cooked chick peas into a bowl of water, covering by an inch or more and rub them between your hands, the skins will loosen, come off and float to the top. With only a little bit of effort, this will eliminate almost all the skins. Adding the baking soda can do some strange things to flavor and consistency that are not necessarily desirable.
Fresh hummus is best served slightly warm! Also, if you want to try it the Israeli way, try using a layer from a quarter of an onion to swipe.. it's delicious!
Kirsten, I hope I'm spelling her name correctly, is the best ! Calm ,collected and I like that the editors show her mistakes. Dorie, Deb at Smitten Kitchen, are two of my other favorites!!!

Just pressure cook the chickpea. You wont need to add chemical like baking sodas.. 40 mins is all you need to pressure cook the chickpea and perfectly soft
Not sure I want my hummus that light and fluffy. I like to use leftovers as a spread for sandwiches or wraps, and this wouldn't do for that. However, if I wanted a hummus pour-over, this would be perfect. I guess every recipe has its place. Thanks!
@@AlanHope2013 Except you don't need "to make it once" as you've watched the video and noted that you want it thicker so you reduce the water as suggested, knowing you can always add more at the end if you want to go thinner.
Hi Cynthia, great question! While we haven't tested this with a blender, a few commenters on the recipe have, and shared their thoughts: food52.com/recipes/22888-yotam-ottolenghi-sami-tamimi-s-basic-hummus Hope this helps! Let us know if you try it!
I'm going to try this. My question is, wouldn't you get a stronger garlic flavor if you minced the cloves before you added them to the food processor, hence the higher production of allicin?
Aquafaba is a great suggestion -- thanks Firiel! Here are a bunch of ideas on what to do with aquafaba (aka that leftover chickpea water): food52.com/blog/16846-all-the-foods-we-re-making-now-that-aquafaba-is-on-our-radar
Hi Liz, great question! While we haven't tested this recipe with canned chickpeas, there are a number of commenters on the recipe who have, and have offered their thoughts: food52.com/recipes/22888-yotam-ottolenghi-sami-tamimi-s-basic-hummus Hope this helps!
Please NEVER put your hand into a food processor while it's plugged in. My cousin and someone else I know had some NOT good experiences with that. The processor could start - without using the off and on button. Rare but never worth taking the chance. Just saying --- the recipe looks great and much appreciated. I just could not watch that without saying something. Don't get upset.
usually the way to go is make a "tatbila" - hot pepper, fresh lemon , parsley , coriander, all blended together- and serve it as a side dip for each to put on their own.
😂😂😂 I have been one of those who tediously peels my canned chickpeas and yes I get a very smooth silky smooth hummus but it does take about 25 minutes to peel those skins-
This is completely my style, love the editing and cuisine. This is really inspiring to me, as a new RUclipsr starting out, doing these recipes too from the great Ottolenghi. I’ve subscribed and it would be great if you could give my channel some feedback too. Great to network & build a community
Baking soda always gives chickpeas an unpleasant smell and taste. You can smell it in your whole kitchen when you're boiling them. The water gets pretty dark too. Some people don't taste it in the final product so if that's you, go ahead and make it this way.
If you soak the chickpeas AND SPROUT THEM, the peel comes off naturally during simmering and you can skim them off the top with other been foam. Ever just use the ENTIRE LEMON (zest, pith, pulp/juice, seeds) sits the entire lemon is edible, nutrient-rich and flavourful? That way you don’t spill any of the juice.... .... How much GARLIC would you say is too much? A whole bulb? How about LENTILS varieties instead of garbonzos/chickpeas? Thoughts on using ICE CUBES to keep blender from cooking hummus with heat build up without diluting flavour?
There is a disgusting amount of tahini in this recipe which will make it much too heavy, regardless of how "fluffy" she suggests. Also, if you add 1/4 the amount of tahini and add 2 Tbps of olive oil whilst in the food processor instead of afterwards, it will remain emulsified until your guests have finished the dish.
You are a brave cook, but believe me as a Norwegian who studied in Beirut- Lebanon for two years, i was so fortunate to learn how to make hummus the Lebanese way, not from some Ottolenghi guy. You made two mistakes, the way you used the garlic, the way you got rid of the cooked water and the fact that you didn’t use cumin etc.. allow me to suggest you learn how to make hummus from the native people who invented this delicious food not an Ottolenghi guy who uses titles as Jerusalem to get himself the credit for what Palestinians and other Middle-Eastern countries eat and feast on... you ought to ask the real recipe from a Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian not some Israeli of Polish, Ukrainian, German background who didn’t even know what hummus was until they came to Palestine. I was myself, quite ignorant about the wonders of Lebanese gastronomy until I discovered first hand when studying in Beirut.
Falafelpump rosh I’m aware that the co-writer is half Palestine and half “Israeli”. Both writers grew up in Jerusalem. Hummus is an Arab dish. Therefore if someone wants to make it authentically they should make it as an Arab would. The most traditional hummus originated in the Levantine which is Syria and Lebanon. Educate yourself.
Falafelpump rosh I also appreciate that Fjord actually studied the cultural background of the food they are cooking rather than cooking based off of a recipe that was made by a non-Arab cook. It’s like attempting to make an authentic Italian pasta dish with a recipe made by an American.
Falafelpump rosh again Samir was raised in “Israel”. I am not saying he makes it wrong I am saying it is less authentic than the method Fjord is commenting about.
Falafelpump rosh From your google search it says “likely” originated in Egypt. I am speaking about traditional hummus, that we all eat today, it is made in the Levant.
I have never seen a hummus recipe that has no cumin, it is probably good but the real deal has cumin and cayenne pepper, add 3/4 teaspoon of cumin in powder and a pinch of cayenne, you will see what I am talking about. In one of the comments Frank Rodgers says it is better to start mixing the tahini and lemon juice first then add the garbanzos and yes, that is right.
That just seems so expensive. Tahini is not cheap. You can make it with a lot less tahini,, or you could grind the sesame seeds yourself. altho a cup would be a major time investment. So, ya baby not a cup of the expensive ingredient. With this recipe, you definitely just want to buy it. it is way less expensive.
Not surprised a Palestinian is trying to bring politics into a simple and delicious hummus recipe. Here's a little hummus history. humus101.com/EN/2007/05/04/hummus-is-it-israeli-or-arab/
when search Ottolenghi's bio you will find the he was born in Jerusalem from Italian and German background, then when you go on, you discover that the Palestinian Sami Tamimi is an Arab born in by chance in his home land..... cheap, so cheap.

Is baking soda / Sodium bicarbonate safe for human consumption?
Yes. Many bakeries, restaurants and others put some in their food. Don't put more than a spoonful though.
Baking soda always gives chickpeas an unpleasant smell and taste. You can smell it in your whole kitchen when you're boiling them. The water gets pretty dark too. Some people don't taste it in the final product so if that's you, go ahead and make it this way.
As an alterntative to baking soda you can use a stovetop pressure cooker to shorten the cooking time while sparing yourself the aftertaste.
@@israteeg752 I always do. 45 minutes in the pressure cooker and it’s always perfect without the baking soda.
Oh, how I wish I hadn't noticed the background music/noise
Yep ! Ugh… 🤔
He only mistake is not waiting for the chickpeas to cool. Tahini paste don’t like hot contact.
great video - but noo cumin ???
If you soak the chickpeas AND SPROUT THEM, the peel comes off naturally during simmering and you can skim them off the top with other been foam.
Ever just use the ENTIRE LEMON (zest, pith, pulp/juice, seeds) sits the entire lemon is edible, nutrient-rich and flavourful? That way you don’t spill any of the juice.... ....
How much GARLIC would you say is too much? A whole bulb?

Better not to put garlic in the hummus because chickpeas don't have strong taste or flavour you will only taste garlic rather then the chickpeas!!
Too much tahini, i think!
when you have no clue of what you are doing...make a youtube video out of it
