Hummus Forgotten, Now Remembered


Recommended Posts

Posted

I used to make hummus regularly until it became too much work for my ravaged health, especially as I had to make the tahini from scratch as it isn't easily found here. Otherwise, I kept it simple. Chickpeas, sesame seeds, garlic, lemon, salt and olive oil.

Now, I buy this brand imported from Lebanon. Usually, I get one of each - classic and za'atar flavoured.

I bought Zahav hummus for the first time, it was on sale (they stock it at a local WF, since it is in the Philadelphia area). I'm sure it's better when you get it fresh at the restaurant, it wasn't "exceptional" as a prepared product, but certainly better than the mass produced brands. I'm able to get some excellent ones that are made in Brooklyn (Sonny & Joe's is one good brand), and homemade (with good ingredients) is best when you can do it!

 

They carry Zahav hummus in the Whole Foods near me (which is probably the same Whole Foods as the Whole Foods near you).  I'd like to try Zahav while it is still on sale but I just received a Whole Foods order this morning.
