Making Hummus
When I make hummus at home it doesn't come out nice and smooth like bought
stuff. I'm using a hand blender, should I use a food processor? I've tried adding water, and I put in oil and tahhini. Any tips? Thanks |

Thanks
But will a food processor give it a creamy texture like the stuff sold in shops, or does it not make any difference if I use a hand blender. How come mine comes out lumpy and not smooth. Thanks |

Are you using tahini or anything else in it? -- jmk in NC |

I usually soak 12hs and cook 2hs.. is that enough?, but I just tried using
more water, and it came out better I made one with garlic, ginger, hot sauce, mustard and lemon.. not bad. I'm just wondering if it would be smoother if I used a food processor rather than a hand blender, as the hand blender also has a blade, and I'd rather not buy a food processor.

Tahini is funny stuff, it stiffens when you add a little water but smooths out when you add more. Mix the tahini and water to a heavy cream consistency, then add to your mashed chickpeas and blend. Good Luck |

OK
I'll try..I found that you have to add quite a lot of water to hummus to get a nice texture, when using tahini.
