I am a hummus lover through and through. That means, when I want it I'm gonna get it - regardless of whether or not I happen to have the right ingredients on hand.
I know what you might be thinking-what kind of home cook doesn't have chickpeas on hand?
And you're right. Its very irresponsible and I hope never to wind up in this situation again, but hey. Nobody's perfect.
In this episode I show you how to make red lentil hummus. Its just as simple as making any other hummus, but I've taken a few liberties here and swapped out multiple ingredients-as well as adding some spices for fun.
This video will show you how to make hummus at home, with whatever you have lying around.
Handy right?
A little about me:
I'm Paula, and I started How To Make Dinner because dinnertime is my favourite time of day. (Except on weekends, when it's breakfast, but you get the point.) I love winding down at the end of the day with a good cooking and eating sesh.
I love dinnertime SO MUCH, but I know not all of you feel the same way. Feeding ourselves and our families can be stressful. So I started this channel and my blog to help give you easy dinner ideas for enjoyable home cooking with less fuss. That goes for isolation cooking too, which we can all relate with right now!
My dinnertime strategy - Keep it simple and delicious, and don't use too many pots and pans. Learn to cook with me and you'll be the master of quick and easy dinners that will please everyone.
Like food? Me too! I share food photos and ideas for MORE easy dinners to make on the socials:

Thanks for coming by! What other things would you make hummus with? 🧐
I have made Hummus with Pistachios / pinenuts / beetroot / black sesame seeds and they are all good. If I am using a 400g can of chickpeas the pre-cooked beetroot used would be half the size of my fist - twice the size of an egg..
Also, for Tahini. If you live in an area like me, it's QUITE expensive, the equivalent of about 20-30 USD for a fairly small jar. But in the Asian foods section of the supermarket, there is a type called "Tahina" which is like 4 times the size for around 3-5 USD... I am not sure why there is always such huge price differences, but I find the same thing with spices as well... little tiny 40-75 gram jars in the spice section cost an equivalent of 4-7 USD, but then in the Asian section it's a 600 gram bag for like 2 USD.
Cause they are praying on gullible gringos
Many thanks for your shopping tip.
Neat! Chickpeas DESTROY my gut because of the fiber (I have ulcerative colitis, so that's fun🙄) but I've noticed lentils don't have the same effect, so I definitely want to try making hummus this way. Yum!
Oh perfect! Yep I fend lentils are a bit more gentle. In fact, a friend of mine once talked about opening a restaurant called “The Gentle Lentil.” 😄
@@HowToMakeDinner Thats a cute name
Same I have IBS and I have eliminated chickpeas. Lentils have become my staple so excited to try this
Cheers much appreciation like ur style too
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you!
It's such a great idea, I love lentils so much, but now I'm going to love it even more that's for sure. I have some split yellow peas at home right now, and I have never cooked anything with it yet, so why not starting with some hummus, right?
I wish I had seen this message sooner! How did it go? Also, I hope you're keeping well over there!
@@HowToMakeDinner Hi there! It took me pretty long with this yellow pea hummus, but at the end I did it last week. It was just delicious with some turmeric inside, and it was pretty close to red lentil hummus in taste. Anyway, this yellow peas took me more time to cook than I expected, so red lentils works better for making a quick hummus. Hope you're doing well!
Thank you! It's a dip, not a baked dish, I enjoy how you give alternative ideas for ingredients. I would like to try without Tahini.
I love how down-to-Earth you are
Thanks Benjamin! I enjoy your profile pic 😅
@@HowToMakeDinner 😅
Yum! Red lentil hummus! Octavia LOVES hummus... she just eats it for dinner ... only hummus 🤣🤦♀️
haha like, with a spoon? My kinda gal!
How To Make Dinner Not even... she’ll just dig her hand right in if I let her... or eat good off a carrot (and not eat the carrot at all 🤣)
I tried it and it's really nice I also made some with split peas instead of chickpeas and that was amazing I might mix the two together because lentils can be too smooth and split peas can be too course but they definitely got more protein and nutrients than chickpeas
I love your adventurous spirit.
So creamy and nice 😋
Thanks Jess!
Paula: *pulls out a gigantic bulk bucket of red lentils*
Me: Oh i wanna be like her when I grow up
And you can.
Awesome I love hummus and have never made it with lentils but certainly will! Also, only ever take big bites! lol
haha yep big bites are the way to go! Thanks Sylvia!
You are right, lentils make great hummus and so does every other bean.
I need this right now!
Make it! You'll love it!
I am curious - Za'Atar "usually" consists of a percentage of Sumac - so why is Sumac added here?
Mainly just because I love the vibrant colour and super sour flavour!
Sumac has a lively sour citrusy flavor independent of of the flavor of za'atar.
This was so delicious!
I'm sad its gone. Gotta make some more!
Hummus lover too 😍 Looks so 🤤
Aww yes! Hummus lovers unite! Hi Milena! Thanks for swinging by! ❤️
What’s zattar? 😬
Its such a wonderful thing! Basically it's a Middle Eastern spice blend, that usually has thyme, sumac, sesame seeds, and some other stuff. I'd say to visit your local Middle Eastern market, but unless they do delivery... you might be looking at Amazon!
How To Make Dinner yum! I’ll have to try it!
I'm on a diet meant to balance my metabolism. I can't eat chickpeas but I can eat red lentils. Tahini is a big NO unfortunately. I wonder if I could replace it with olive oil or rapeseed oil.
Could you use a different kind of nut or seed butter? Sunflower maybe? If not, I’d just suggest you leave it out. You could try adding in some Greek Yogurt for creaminess
@@HowToMakeDinner thank you so much for your reply! Almonds are the only nuts I can eat so I'll go with that :)
@@LuthienAlexandra Sounds good! if you're using almond butter, start with a tiny bit, otherwise the flavour might be overpowering. All the best!
@@HowToMakeDinner will do! Thank you so much!
I've heard if you don't have/can't find tahini, you can microwave peanut butter to get it to the same consistancy.
Peanut butter has a rather strong flavor, but as she said in the video, you can use other nut and seed butters. I like cashew or almond.
My blade has totally fallen out on me 🤪
Oh yep. It happens to the best of em! haha
“What do you do when you really want hummus but you don’t have chickpeas….use lentils.”
That’s like saying “Don’t have your Toyota to get to the store? No prob, take the BMW.”
I have chickpeas but they are pain in the butt to cook, to peel and so on.
And if you don't have pita or veggies - hummus on apple slices! Seriously! One of my favourites. I was waiting for you to put capers on top, though...
I have heard about this phenomenon mom but I've never tried it!
@@HowToMakeDinner Ya. you probably heard it from me:-)
Wow very nice & yammy 😋 😋 recipe
STAY CONNECT PLEASE 😊 😊
I have connected 👍👍 👍

What the hell is this abomination...just kidding...looks great 👍 gonna try this with mung beans

Gotta pressure cook out the toxic lectins!!!
Is drowning in olive oil and tahini and you've mixed it perfectly with literally no personality.. maybe crack a smile
Bro looks like Count Dracula.
