I will take a look at Molly's recipe, I don't think I could ever have too many varieties of hummus to try. Will try adding the olive oil next time as well, I can imagine it would add to the texture and flavor as well.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257608688023328710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13998709.post-1135357873079773852005-12-23T10:11:00.000-07:002005-12-23T10:11:00.000-07:00Lovely, Michele!

I'm very fond of hummus - make it several times a year - and recently tried Molly's version over on Orangette - it's terrific, too, so if you ever want to switch it up a little, give hers a try. Homemade hummus is much healthier, too, because you can control the oil - I see you don't use any (excepting what's naturally in the tahini, I guess), but I like to add about a tablespoon to give it a rich feel. I also find that "lean" hummus firms up a bit in the fridge, so I often make it a little loose, because I know it will set more as it sits for a day or two. Hummus and tortilla roll-ups are one of my favourite quick snacks.<BR/><BR/>Yogurt cheese is one of those fantastic things that is hard to believe how good/easy/inexpensive it is. I particularly like using French Vanilla yogurt to make into yogurt cheese, because you can use it for a ton of things. Topping pavolva, for example, or as a layer-filling in a cake, or smeared on banana bread... the list really goes on!Dawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783668751520357959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13998709.post-1135356923571299862005-12-23T09:55:00.000-07:002005-12-23T09:55:00.000-07:00Paz, I wasn't sure I could pull it off either but ...Paz, I wasn't sure I could pull it off either but it was surprisingly easy and very tasty!

A long, long time ago, I tried to make hummus but it didn't turn out right. Don't know what I did wrong. You've inspired me to try again.
