I know, isn’t it amazing how shelling those little buggers and adding a healthy dose of lemon makes this hummus better than storebought?! I, too, have forgone the dried bean process, since I rarely remember to pre-soak the night before. Glad you like this recipe–will definitely give your “popcorn chickpeas” a try. Sounds like they would be just as good in a salad as a snack!

Made your recipe and LOVE IT! I use to make hummus but my recipe involved party bowl size results and long planning to soak dried beans that it got put aside and misplaced in moves. This was so much simpler – even with peeling each canned bean by hand (there are more beans in that can that I would have ever admitted prior). Thanks for sharing! This will now be a staple in our home – next to popcorn chickpeas which is lazy (rinse canned garbanzos, sprinkle with olive oil and garlic powder, bake in moderate oven about 15-20 minutes til just at the point of turning brown, and eat warm!)

Haha hi Beka! Well, it’s definitely taken me several trial-and-error runs to get this a-mazing hummus. The trick really is the lemon, which balances out your tahini-by-the-cupfuls Let me know if you try this recipe!

Nice! Guangzhou typically does not make the cut other than a quick stopover on the way to other, more fascinating destinations. If you want some other recs though, let me know!! Are you going to China just to travel? How long? I’m curious to know your itinerary!!!

Hi Jessie, I am going to China next year. If Guangzhou makes the cut, I will definitely try to lure my friends to Bosphorus. Love your blog, btw. I am glad I found it through Treat Yo Self Thursday link up.
