Hummus?

I generally do not like store-bought hummus, but I would really like to get into it more, especially for lunches and whatnot. What are my options? I've tried a roasted garlic hummus and absolutely detested it. I don't want to run out and spend a bunch of money, so I'm hoping to get some ideas before I spend my cash.

Thanks!

peace, love and hippiness

I'm keeping an eye for a sale too. Silk coupons are awesome, I get those pretty frequently in my e-mail.

totally off topic, but dang! Our silk milk just went up again another $.28! Let me know if you get a coupon, or when we can get one too. I have Silk on my facebook, so can keep track I think that way.

Just as a word of caution, a lot of the store bought hummus you'll find out there has a TON of oil in it, and therefore a very high ratio of calories from fat. I'm not one to make lots of things from scratch, so mixing my favorite store bought with something I've made up without all the oil tends to work better for me, as long as I don't thin out the flavor too much as well. Personally I have to go with roasted red pepper just about every time though, which has a lot of flavor to start with.

Anyone have suggestions as far as dried hummus goes? In bulk maybe, so it is less expensive? I'm looking for that as a backpacking food I could have sent to me in mail drops this summer.

wheee! broke my new food processor in by making hummus the other night. so quick and easy.
the longest part is soaking them overnight and then cooking them for 1 1/2 hours.
blended garlic and cilantro first, then added the beans, tahini, splashes of olive oil and sesame oil and bean water, some veggie salt, cumin, a teench of cayenne and a squirt of lemon.
thanks all for the inspiration!

I finally got to try Sabra today for lunch and it is reaaaally good with wheat crackers. I think the problem with hummus before (other than the nasty taste
) was the fact that I wasn't really used to the texture. So, I paired it with something full of texture and flavor and yummy!

I bought the spinach and articoke flavor, but I think next time I will try the pine nut!

Thanks so much for all of your help.

The last time we were back in the US I tried to buy some hummus in a supermarket and it had HFCS in it. what's that all about??

I tend to make mine these days with sun dried tomatoes soaked in water and use the soaking water as the liquid giving it that extra tomato flavour. With basil and oregano and a bit of nutritional yeast--like pizza flavoured hummus.

Well, it says it's 100% sesame seeds. You should be able to figure this out, if it's 100% sesame seeds that means only sesame seeds, no animal products.
