raw hummus

I made raw hummus once and I did not like it at all. I ended up throwing it all out.

I soaked the chickpeas, but I did not go ahead and sprout them. Is that where I went wrong, or does it make no difference?

Thanks :)

    I think it would make a difference, because if you don’t sprout it it tastes strachy and unpleasant and it is much more difficult to blend it properly. However I would make a zucchini hummus instead, it is heavenly!!!

    flybaby, Can you recomend a good recipe for the zuc. hummus. That sounds nice. I love zucchini, and grow the most incredible ones in the summer! They are so versatile!

    Have a look at www.sunnyrawkitchen.com. I made her zucc. hummus and it is fantastic!

    The Rawvolution uncookbook has a great recipe for hummus that doesn’t require chickpeas but uses zucchini and raw tahini instead. I’ve made it several times and it’s delicious.

    Luna blu: There are a bunch of hummus recipes on this site that don’t use sprouted chickpeas. A few are:

    I’ve only tried the first so far, but am definitely hooked on this quick and easy way to make delicious hummus!

    I want to try to make the zucchini hummus but it uses so much oil and tahini, I can’t eat it. I can’t handle so much oils, not even a couple of spoons of the finished product. I thought about making it with a lot less oil, but I was concerned the water would leach out of the zuc without all the oils to hold it suspended. (when I let sliced zuc sit, water leaks out a lot) When I make chickpea hummus, I only use about 3 to 4 tablespoons tahini for almost 2 cups of chickpeas. Don’t know if it’ll work with zucchini . . . I’d like to back off of the chickpeas because I think I eat too many.

    Alix1962 it definitely works with less tahini! I always like to reduce the amount of oil as well.

    Great! I’m going to do a bit of shopping today and I’ll pick up some extra zucchini! Thank you, flybaby.:-)
