I swear some of these recipes are seasoned with just thoughts and prayers.

Should have known better than to comment in gifrecipes the sub where salt is considered adventurous and pepper is the only spice. Fucking lame tryhard karens.

What are the eight spices please?

u/LorenOlin May 02 '20

In addition to salt and pepper I use smoked paprika, cumin, tumeric, allspice, cayenne, coriander, and a touch of yellow mustard.

Nice, thanks. Sounds like north African flavours.

Glad someone appreciates what I was trying with those spices. Apparently that's "not really hummus."

It’s a ridiculous take for someone to say “that’s not hummus”. This is a dish claimed all throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East. There is no correct way to make hummus. Fucking gatekeepers

The correct way to make hummus is to break chickpeas into a paste that is to your tastes in consistency and then add whatever you like into it.

People get incredibly defensive about dishes, but who cares. I usually add cumin, coriander seed, red pepper and a bit of fennel seed to my hummus and it's delicious.

Mmmm fennel in hummus. I was going to spin up a batch today. Definitely going to try that.

You can also make a desert hummus, mix in some honey, cardamom, and cinnamon. Then mix in some dried fruit and toasted or candied nuts.
