Martini, do you remove every skin or do some slip through when you make this? Also, for your 3lbs of beans comment is that doubling the recipe? Good to know about Zorba's homemade pita as well since it is not far from me at all. TIA

This is exactly what I do, but I add a bit of the canned chickpea water to smooth it out. I add a good bit of parsley when blending it also

Sabra doesn't resemble hummus in the least, but I will eat it if it's around.

This, though I think they go a little too far in putting the baking soda on the peas in the oven. It's really only needed during the boil. I've found the key in making a good hummus is using baking soda to get soften the peas and release the shells easier (makes end product creamier) and to use a good quality Tahini.

If you are in Houston, Austin, or Dallas, get this stuff. It is the best and most authentic hummus you will find in a store.

It's not straight Tahini. It's something he calls "prepared tahini." I've never made it, but found the recipe here:

Prepared Tahini

Makes about 3 cups

½ cup lemon juice

2 clove garlic, crushed

1½ cups raw tahini

1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt

1¼ cups ice water, plus more as needed

Instructions: Combine the lemon juice and garlic in a nonreactive bowl; set aside for 30 minutes to steep.

Meanwhile, whip the tahini with a stand mixer or an electric mixer on high for about 10 minutes, until it’s glossy and light, like cake batter. It’s nearly impossible to overwhip it, so feel free to spend a little time here.

Strain the lemon juice. Decrease the mixer’s speed to medium, and add the juice and salt; the tahini will seize up at first, but don’t freak out. Keep whipping it at medium speed and it will be incorporated.

When the tahini has a uniformly tacky, almost fudgy consistency, add the ice water, about ¼ cup at a time, and increase the speed to high. At first, the sauce may seize up again and look almost curdled, but keep adding the ice water, whipping well after each addition. It will smooth itself out and should look like a thick mousse. Every tahini is different; if, after you’ve added all the water, it’s still too thick, keep adding water by the tablespoon until it lightens up.

Prepared tahini will stay good for about 2 days in the fridge. If you’re making it in advance, let it warm up just slightly on the counter, and whip in 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water to restore some of its lightness.
