Baking soda softens the chickpeas, you can just boil the chickpea with baking soda, we make about 30kg of humus Lebanese style every day at my work. Always start with dry chickpea, soak, boil with baking soda, we use 1 table spoon of baking soda per 15 kg container of chickpeas , after boil, we put it in cold water rinse, and the husk tend to float on top we let that drain out using a sink with a catch and high stopper. We mix the cold chickpea, with lemon juice, bit of water, garlic, cumin, salt, coriander powder, then when the chickpeas are all broken down, we add tahini, and olive oil. very similar to what you do. we have an industrial blender though, careful on the amount of water, it can make it very smooth, but also looses flavor. overall I can recommend your method and recipe.
I also used to make Hummus the wrong way for years, with canned chickpeas and without Tahini. After discovering the method shown in this video I got the WOW experience that made me stick with this way of preparing Hummus. It never fails to WOW me each and every time! Btw., I use broth (chicken or vegetable) instead of water to get the right texture without losing flavour.
Hey Kevin. Can I ask you how long you soak your chickpeas for?
@@iw5744 overnight..like other beans. Kevin's advice is professional. Removing the skins makes it smooth as possible
Very professional Kevin. Thanks!
@@MalteseKat Ahh, I see. The way it reads is that the whole process is done in one day. I thought that Kevin was saying that boiling in baking soda meant a shorter soaking time. Thanks for your reply, Carmen. 🙂
Spread hummus not hate. Love that!
OfftoShambala love that so much!
So 8 hrs later you have hummus!
I had the captions turned on, they read "spread hamas not hate"!
@@danielam1992 CZcams doing what it does best ... speding "love" but censoring it at the same time when convenient.
You’re humorous
I spent almost 3hours doing the hummus (removing the outer shell by hand mostly), but my Egyptian husband approved and said " it taste authentic" so thank you for the recipe !
One lady said hers is a five minute hummus then she boiled the peas then peeled them. That’s when I knew there’s no possible way it’s a five minute recipe.
Do yourself a favor, use this recipe: czcams.com/video/NbXC0B83S7k/video.html . It became my go to recipe once I tried it. It also SO MUCH simpler and faster than the one you are using. (One word of caution: do not put tahini in the amount that's in the recipe, put as much tahini as much lemon juice and you will be golden. ) Best of luck :))
You just leave it in the water overnight. All shells come out
This country is called Palestine even Golda Meir the fourth prime minister 1969 to 1974 had a palestinian documents!!
Rub the chickpeas together to remove the outer skin takes about few seconds to loosen the skin and about fifteen minutes to remove them floating in water. Just keep rubbing them together until all the skins come off. It won’t take 3 hours for sure. I do this before I cook them. I used a pressure cooker to cook them for 5 minutes you could do them longer if you want to.
This is such an interesting way of presenting a food film. Part vlogger, part presenter, part documentary, bit of gimbal work...it's unique. And very, very good.
tho the overproduced style and distracting music kills the whole vibe, for me at least. doesn't match the content of the video at all
OMG. Made this hummus today and my boyfriend who is Turkish (and is also a complete hummus snob) freaked out and even sent a pic to his dad showing him that I made it and so he could see how amazing it looked and imagine how it tasted!
Thank you 🙌🙌🙌
has he asked you in marriage since? 😁
Cool - you guys seem cool. i will also try this today because i love love love Hummus!
But the thing is Hummus is not at all a Turkish dish, most Turks don't really know it or ever would prepare it ... or is it a south east regional thing?At least in Istanbul we don't know much about Hummus ..
Kabab Fasolia isbanek lahmajon Baklawa kunafah Flafel Humus and all Turkish dessert belong to Arabs Levant ..70% of Turkish melody belongs to Arabs ..we added all these things to Turks and more Than that but Turks are not thankful to Arabs at all
@@mohamedkabha6861 hummus is Greek not Turkish
@@abhi739
it is neither greek nor Turkish, also the greek moussaka, it is an arab dish but you aded Cheese to it
I lived in the Middle East and it took me years to uncover the secrets that you have in this video. Hands down best video I’ve seen on hummus.
The mixing of the lemon juice and tahini on the side trick was the final frontier for me. So glad you had that in the video. It’s crazy how that alone turned my hummus from whatevs to amazing. It’s emulsification. Similar to egg and oil in mayo or lemon and oil in a great creamy salad dressing.
I'm happy to see this confirmed by someone else :) I'm making my first hummus tomorrow feeling I've been taught by the best!
Bro ik im asking super late but I hope I get an answer
I don't know but most recipes use 100-150g of tahini while this recipe used 400g
So i wanted to know if thats right or should I reduce the tahini amount
The Beardo totally cool. I make about the 400 g, but I don’t always use it all. Sometimes 1/2 is fine. If you make the tahini sauce separately like he does then you can add as much or as little you want over the chickpeas. I add all the salt and seasonings to the tahini sauce when I make it, so if I don’t add as much to the chickpeas (notice that he pours it over the chickpeas in the food processor), you may need to add a little more salt etc. I usually add about 200g of tahini sauce into the hummus and use the rest as a dip.
Add about half of the Tahini sauce over the chickpeas, process it, taste it, add more, taste it.
I haven’t been adding olive oil to the hummus when I make it like he does. I’ve been pouring a little on too when I serve it. I like that better. Most places in the Middle East only pour it on top, but you should experiment.
If you’re going to make some for a party or something make like 4 batches using different amounts of garlic, olive oil etc. pick the way that you like best. If you don’t make several batches at once it’s very difficult to really tell which way you like best.
@@caseykittel all right, thank you for the tips, appreciate it
Abu Said: The First Hummus-Sapien
I liked your joke, but i guess the world is not ready yet.
Bruhh that's actually hilarious 😂 😂
Amine Hamou Genius haha
Amine Hamou hhhhhhh nice joke
Lol 😂
I guess CZcams algorithm finally suggested me the video I was unknowingly looking for all these years...
I've peeled the chickenpeas with my hands ...one by one.. .i knowed all of Them by name 😁delicious .great presentation and receipe
Descendants of Hummus lineage
lol
GOOD JOB
Lol when you rinse, you see more :-( lol
One by one .. same
Found your channel via Reddit. Great video! Hummus is my all time favorite food. When my wife and I were tasting caterers food for our wedding, I said, "I don't care what we serve as long as there is hummus!" And I stand by my commitment (to both hummus and my wife) 25 yrs later.
Love this comment. LOL Glad you and your hummus...I mean wife have lasted so long.
The couple that cooks together, stays together. Keep on making hummus.
Andong I love your videos !
Like you I am a hummus freak. I have eaten in a number of Lebanese restaurant and small shawarma places. A few years ago we found a Lebanese « traiteur » who makes the most delicious hummus I have ever eaten.
I can’t believe that your recipe, which I just made, tastes exactly like that « traiteur » . My family was blown away.
So thank you so much ! Peace and blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Lebanese always better that Apartheid israel
Holy bananas! This is the Holy Graal of hummus! I just made it and even before I could take it out of the processor I ate a loaf of bread with it! It is so worth the effort! Thank you!
Your enthusiasm is infectious! I’ve always struggled to master a creamy hummus so absolutely cannot wait to try this out!!
Hubby and I are delighted to have found your recipes, keep smiling its awesome to watch and learn from you
Thank you SO MUCH!!!! For a long time I've been making hummus but struggled to get it silky smooth and always went back to store bought. But now I made this and OMG it is so good. Thanks a lot!
Dear Andong, thank you very much for this video. I just made it and it is indeed incredible. I had been doing it wrong my whole life, now hummus will never be the same again for me. Bless you!
Baffles my mind that this video only has 4,4k views. The editing, filming, music and content is so awesome. Subscribed!
snupers ,it will get there
That definitely changed 😉
It really is!
Now its at 280k
agree, with good understanding of how to prepare
Deine Videos sind wunderbar, leichter Humor und extrem informativ.
Vorallem dass man das ganze noch als deutsch Aufgewachsener in Englisch macht find ich sehr toll.
Mach weiter so! 🙏🏽
Just made your hummus with black sesame seeds (they didn't have the white ones at the shop) and made tahini from scratch, added chickpeas, salt, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil, followed your method and I ended up with the most beautiful silky silver hummus you've ever seen.
Hard to get hummus in the countryside of Thailand so it made me REALLY happy ☺️ to eat it
A good presentation and much closer to authentic than most.
However, as I was taught in the Lebanon some fifty years ago, there are some further details of technique which will take your hummus one step further:
- Do NOT use a blender for any stage of this recipe! RATHER, use a hand operated vegetable mill on the cooked and warm chickpeas, choosing a medium or fine sieve plate according to taste: the chickpea skins will magically stay behind in the mill, and the chickpea paste will be of a far better consistance than when smashed mercilessly with a blender.
-. Place your tahine in a bowl and stir vigorously with a spoon as you very slowly trickle in some cold water. Stop when the tahine has become stiff.
Now add the lemon juice mixed with the garlic which has been pounded to a fine cream with a teaspoonful of salt in a mortar: again you will achieve far better taste and texture than with a blender!
If you add the above to an already good recipe you will indeed achieve the level of perfection you are seeking.
Sahtein!
what about the baking soda? don't you use any?
I suppose this will result in a rougher texture though? Not that I have any conception about rough vs. smooth hummus, I am making my first hummus tomorrow, so just wondering ;)
@@TheMV1992 If you've ever made a curry paste by hand vs in a blender/food processor, you'll know that whatever you make in a mortar and pestle can be finer than what your blender spits back at you.
I've been running through your videos thinking: "wow this dude knows how to make good high quality videos, he must have at least 100k subs".
dude you deserve more subs!!!
Andong, I just discovered your channel in the New Year and I love it! As a homemade hummus enthusiast, I'm definitely taking notes.
The garlic-infused lemon juice trick is truly key. I've been making hummus this way since watching your video two years ago and everybody's always preaching my hummus!
Also so glad it reached 1 mln views, you deserve it!
Add salt towards the end of cooking since adding it in the beginning can cause the beans to become a little tough. use the small chickpeas type they are the best one for it , they have thinner שמג skinny husk .
Sp4zie sent me
But i subbed for the content!
@@mynameisandong Check Sp4zie last video and you will understand this inflow :)
oh yeah nahui
OMG this made me so crave all of it. Nice job on the presentation!
I respect you for the real love and understanding of hummus
Yum, yum, YUM!!! I just made this yesterday, and I couldn't make the pitas fast enough to keep up with my son and husband! They tore it all up! Thank you so much for sharing this delicious recipe!
This is my first time, viewing your channel. And I absolutely love the way you explain the recipe. 💙
Thank you, Andong.
Best recipe for hummus, loved the video, and the pita recipe is just so delicious. All around awesome
new to your channel..... and I'm really loving how you do them and your great energy!
Working hard at getting my health back so just what I need!
Took two days to make this and it was SOOOOOO worth it!! This is the best hummus and pitas my husband and I have ever had (and as vegetarians, we eat a lot of hummus and pitas)!! THANK YOU!!! Can't wait to learn more from you! LOVE international foods!
Andong, I recommended your video to a food group I'm in and they loved it :) Since I love Hummus and good hummus is not easy to find here in Germany, I made this hummus today and I was blown away. Fortunately I made some more - the only thing I swapped was using canned chickpeas because - well - time and lazyness. However, the result is phenomenal. I think what really knocks it out of the park is mixing the garlic with the lemon juice, because the acid really takes away the sometimes unpleasant sharp- and bitterness that can be overpowering with garlic. Also the bit with hot water and tahini, fantastic. The hummus I made is soooo tasty, I was spooning it in my mouth at some point. Keep up the good work!!!
Hey man I had a blast making this recipe today, I went nuts and also made self made tahin, normal and red! With fresh pita bread, I had so much fun, tast out of this world. Thanks
Loved it again. Everytime I watch is a pleasure. Used a few tips you shared. Thanks Andong
Thank you thank you thank you!! Finally nailed it after soooo many years. Bloody perfect! Looking forward to trying your other recipes. Cheers!
Hey Andong and community. I actually made this recipe, and it came out pretty great! Instead of a food processor, I used my vitamix blender. I think one thing that should be mentioned about this recipe is that you really want a food processor or blender powerful enough to mix and puree the ingredients. I have made hummus quite a bit since I first went to Dubai in 2013, and other than the process in this video, the biggest take away I learned is that I was not using nearly enough Tahini for my hummus. I also overshoot the amount of chickpeas to soak and I ended up with a huge container of hummus that my wife and I have to eat quickly. My one suggested improvement for this recipe is to double or triple the garlic. I used a whole head of garlic for my recipe, and I can hardly taste it. It might be because I used too many chickpeas, but I think adding even more is better, unless you plan on flavoring your hummus with something else. Great video and I will likely make some more of your recipes at home. It really came out better than I expected and was the best thing I made from a CZcams cooking channel. Danke!
This was my experience to a T. Very much underestimated how much tahini I would need. (And how much was in the house.)
How does this channel not have more subs? I think I've found a gem!
Coz he talking too much
I’m also surprised it doesn’t have higher viewership. He’s got a lot of potential.
Good job! This will most def up my hommus game. Your energetic way of explaining things really does it for me!!!
Enjoyed every second of your video and tried your recipe with great success !!! Well done and Thank you.
What a great presentation - high energy and amazing skills bringing the best of middle eastern cuisine to us. My daughter and I adore hummus and we want to thank you for providing these ingenious hack with your upbeat and deliriously positive food & peace message. This video makes me want to pack my travel bag and visit Akko!!!
You are a true food ambassador!!!
Thank you kindly!!!
Please come visit Akko! It's an amazing place!
Absolutely amazing video! I visited Israel for the first time last December; LOVE the country! Subbed!
You are the absolute best💖. Thank you so much for sharing.
Andong, this is really well done. I can't wait to try Hummus for my first time.
Thank you for creating this!
it is amazing that the entire video went by without mentioning that you had your hummus and learnt the secrets of the trade from a Palestenian man living in Israel. not to get into the politics of anything, but just be accurate to what you are delievering. The origins of Hummus are middle eastren and go back to Egypt. and in Israel, the Palestenians living there are the ones who are keeping the authentic flavor alive. And this is worth mentioning.
Hummus,to me,is the most perfect food. That looked so amazing, omg I'd travel just for that
Awesome Video thanks for all of your hard work.
I honestly don't know why I'm going to make this hummus tonight, but it's surely due to the combination of the hummus recipe you very slightly advertised and your brilliant and naturally enthusiastic presentation. I'm hooked!
I tried this out! I did overcook the chickpeas a bit without noticing & some skin did get mixed up as it turned mushy. But even with that it was the one of the creamiest hummus i have ever had. Thanks for the amazing recipe :)
made your recipe today!!! Excellente!! Thanx!!!
I just discovered this channel. Finally, someone who understands middle eastern and Israeli cuisines. So many cooking channels are making those weird and trendy interpretations of those dishes, but this is an old and traditional cuisine.
Thank You so much. I made the hummus and the pita and its the best I've ever made. No more box mix for my family. Your recipe reminds me of my days in college and graduate school. I lived on falafel, lentil soup, and hummus. Wonderful.
came from Sp4zie for the Hummus, subbed for the content. Keep on going man!
Thank you!! The best "wow" hummus I've ever tasted was at the Turkish House Restaurant in Muscat, Oman! WOW! Smooth, delicious, and addictive and best of all: inexpensive so we ate there often.
... Again I love your spirit and your videos. Fantastic job!
Thanks for taking us to Israel. I will definitely try out your whole recipe while being in quarantine time here in Canada. Thank you 🙏 again. It looks so delicious 😋
I "liked" this when it came out & with I could do so again. It was one of the first videos of yours I saw & it made me subscribe.
Good hummus is one of my ultimate comfort foods. Hummus & fava/broadbean hummus are just perfect foods for me.
insane video quality for the size of ur chanel! keep up the great work and may ur channel rise up in the sky!
This looks amazing and i am going to try it today!! Thanks for such a good quality video.
I tried it for the first time today and it is awesome!! The texture, the taste, the hummus is just perfect. I reduced the amount of garlic but basically used you receipe and it worked very well 😊 now i enjoy my hummus! Thank you! :)
I made my grandma’s recipe 2 days before I tried this, and the difference was insane! This is SO much better than any other hummus I’ve ever tasted, thank you so much for sharing!!!
Just tried roasting chickpeas with baking soda after soaking them... First, during cooking there was so much froth an floating chickpea skins it was amazing, second, it turned into the best hummus I ever made, almost Nutella-like :) Thanks Andong :)
Just finished the making of the hummus. Well worth the effort. Thank you for such a fantastic demonstration
Omg my mouth is watering but sadly I’m not as patient as you. I applaud you greatly for your steps in making the entire entrée authentic. IM SURE you made him proud!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
YUM
God bless you for talking about peace and yes lovely video
Sploodz was right, absolutely loved the video! Subbed and slapped that Bell icon
Awesome! You are so entertaining, loving your channel!
Kudos to your uplifting spirit. Well done.

Jews and Arabs live in Harmony!
WTF!
@@CraigMcArthur So long as they aren't living in an open-air prison, it's pretty easy. Just goes to show, the conflict is about territory, not religion. Religions can only be treated equally in a truly secular state and Israel is drifting farther and farther towards a theocracy.
@@andrew_owens7680 🤣
I made that recipe it taste PERFECT ! Thank you so much for this video. Keep up the good work.
The editing of your post was terrific. shukran.
Thanks Andong. I am freaking out here. It looks totally amazing. I love Humos!! My first try at Humos was not good. Oh damn...I did not remove the husk. And my Tahini was not runny. Etc, etc. Rewind and take notes here.
Wooo, the sp4zie-squad is here! Great, GREAT video, about to binge-watch a lot more!
@@mynameisandong Definitely do! And props for using Serious Eat's lemon + garlic method, I saw that the other day and that's why I'll be making hummus this weekend, following your recipe
Quick update on the results: yes!
It's gotten a bit more watery than I had wanted and there's a tad too much salt in it, but leaving execution aside: the recipe is great! I'll add a bit of pomegranate powder and za'tar as garnish and I'll be one happy person!
@@mynameisandong jolly
will try that. sounds really nice (background of the awesome hummus as well) thank you.
Awesome Video, Andong! Tried it month ago and... yeah you sold me on Hummus after like 3 minutes of this video haha!
Im so grateful, dude, this stuff is out of this world, man!
Great and informative video. I love Hummus 👍😉
Sp4zie sent me - And he wasn't kidding about the insane production value. :D
Just made this. The pita bread and hummus was really good. Thanks for the serving advice with the condiments, it was amazing :D
This looks so tasty! I'm pumped to try your recipe! Thank you
Thank you for sharing
I will, like your opening descriptions, I have also have made the basic recipe, but not been shown the science and skills. I would love to visit Jerusalem, but I got an eye opening view with your video. :)
I always eat there when i am in akka. It’s a great experience always
I just loved this video. Very entertaining and made me relive my moments in Middle East. I cannot wait to try this Hummus and pita for Eid now.
Just made this recipe following your recipe. Love the results! I was surprised how much tahini you use, but I guess that's what makes it so delicious.
Masha Allah very nice food and people live together with peace full
I love the Palestinian style hummus. I've made it so many ways, my favourite texture is from soaking them for a day then peeling them one by one but I'm just too lazy to keep doing it
Abu Sa'id is Palestinian.
Actually he's an Israeli Arab (yes that's a thing)
@@BedtimeStoriesPiano That's according to Israel, but according to these Arabs, they are Palestinians. Israel is a new country. These people were there long before that. They never forgot where they came from. I'm one of them. ;)
@Tobias Chobotuck Where is this Palestinian supermarket?
@Tobias Chobotuck Whoa, a wild Vancouverite sighting! I can’t find one called Mediterranean Deli exactly. Are you referring to Mediterranean Specialty Foods on Commercial?
What a nice guy and insight into Said's restaurant and amazing secrets. I cant wait to try this thanks Andong.
This was an amazing recipe for hummus. I plan to make this tomorrow.
Thank you for this vid!
I am a Turkish restaurant owner and I can tell from here that Hummus is dope ! We use the exact same proceeds except we don't peal the chickpeas ... until now. Awesome video man.
Damn this is some quality content, I'm glad that Sp4zie sent me here - hope you get all the subs you deserve dude, subbed !
Can't wait to make it....excellent presentation because of your personality.
Super felt your happiness while watching this video. Thanks for sharing your experience and recipe!

please tell us when you come to israel next time, i'm sure many people would love to show you their favorite places to eat. me included 😁
I wish I can come but our govt won't allow 😢
What an exceptional video-yummy food and fascinating location. And it tutors on the whole experience.
I tried your recipe and it's really good!! Thank you so much for making this video!!
This is amazing and made me so nostalgic for Akko... One thing though. At Said it's served warm... But you let it cool completely. Warm is so much better!! Thoughts?
I'm watching while lying in bed at 1:35 AM and I want to get up and make this now. Thank you so much.
Great video to explore this amazing food! Thanks!
Brah I’m only halfway through this video and I had to subscribe!!!! Brilliant editing, a clear passion for food... I’m sold on your channel already!! Keep up the great work bro! Cheers from the USA 😁
