Yes, I bought dried beans instead of the cooked ones. I soaked them overnight and cooked them for 3 hours this morning.
I wasn't doing this just for hummus - there are a few other dishes I'm using them for, but I thought it would be interesting to try my hummus recipe and see if it was more flavorful with the home-cooked beans.
I do actually prefer it, and if I am cooking garbanzos again for another reason, I'll save some for hummus again.
Here's the recipe:
1 drained can of chickpeas - or cook your own garbanzos
Juice of two lemons
1 teaspoon of Bragg Liquid Aminos
3 tablespoons water
2 roasted red peppers - I used Mezzetta
Blend all the ingredients together and enjoy!
I served mine with poppadoms for a health snack with lots of fiber.
Most hummus has tahini in it, or olive oil - but I love the taste without and don't need the fat and extra calories.
