Recipe Requests / Re: Hommus/Hummus

Thanks for replies.

I changed the colour to blue. I hope it's easier to read. I was just trying to separate the recipe from my question so it didn't all meld into one. If the blue is awful I can change it back to black.

Recipe Requests / Hommus/Hummus
« on: May 24, 2013, 11:08:06 pm »
I found an adaption on the EDC recipe version of Hummus/Hommus (not sure of the spelling).

This is it:

Ingredients

1 I tin of organic chickpeas drained and rinsed or 250-300 g well cooked chickpeas
60-70 g of lemon juice (or less and top up with a little water)
1 garlic clove peeled
2 peeled strips of lemon zest (no pith)
2 tbsp hulled organic tahini
1 tsp of agave or honey
2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
cracked pepper
Celtic or Himalayan salt


Preparation
1.
Place garlic and lemon zest in TM bowl and process of speed 8 for at least 10 secs or until the zest stops hitting the sides of the bowl. Scrape down and process again.
Add all ingredients except olive oil and blend on speed 4 for 1-2 mins.
Scape down sides and around the base of the blade, add olive oil, and blend another 2-3 mins.
Check seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve with dukkah, crackers, crudites, beetroot salad, any salad, on bread..........

Tip
If chickpeas are a bit firm they will not make a smooth hummus. If tinned chickpeas are firm, cook them down in the brine from the tin for another 10-15mins.


My question is that is states that if the tinned chickpeas are firm to cook them down in the brine from the tin for another 10-15 minutes, yet they were never cooked in the first place. Do I need to cook them and how would I do that? In the TMX initially before adding other ingredients? It got good revews with the addition of the honey.

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Flour Question
« on: May 18, 2013, 02:29:40 am »
I only received my TMX yesterday but I really need to tidy up my pantry and use up stuff that I wont be needing anymore.

I bought a 5kg bag of baker's flour. Can I replace all other flour with baker's flour? ie plain, self raising (by adding yeast) or should I keep some of plain, SR and 00 (for pasta) on hand?

It's all a little bit confusing. ???

Thanks for everyone's advice. I can't believe how quickly all of you reply on this forum so much so that I didn't come back prior to attempting it.

I ended up adapting it. I know someone said that I'd be brave to do it as a newbie but I thought I had nothing to lose. I ended up doing the pumpkin with the onion and garlic and it turned out really well. My family loved it.

I will try some of the other suggestions on here next time.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this. I just took delivery of my Thermomix today. I'm so excited. I made the stock from the EDC with my consultant. I now want to make pumpkin risotto. Do I just change the swap the mushrooms for pumpkin and use the recipe from the EDC? I don't want to stuff up the first thing I make.

It was just delivered this afternoon. It's only been a week since I had my demo. I'm so excited. My consultant dropped it over and we made the stock from the EDC.

I am thinking I'll make pumpkin risotto and some chocolate custard for the kids for dessert. I can't wait to start cooking up a storm.

Thanks

I did want to add that this forum seems fantastic. I went to the forum on the Thermomix Australia page and still waiting from a reply from a post I made four days asking some questions. I think I'll post in here from now on.

Hi There All

I ordered my Thermomix last Friday and apparently it was dispatched yesterday. I'm not sure how long it will take to get to me but hoping it won't be much longer. I've been wanting a Thermomix since 2009 so can't wait to finally get my hands on one.

I'll definitely be trying some of the many recipes found on this forum. It looks like a great forum.

I'm deciding on the things I'd like to make first.
