There is definately overlap with political chicanery. Super weird.
Unless you’re using canned or pre-prepared chickpeas, you’re spending between 1 and 5 hours waiting for them to cook through. Otherwise, like 20 minutes from start to finish.
If you cook them yourself, you can ensure it bit more bite in the texture, if that is your thing. But for a quick hummus there is absolutely nothing wrong with using canned chickpeas.
in theory, but it's cheaper for me to get canned chickpeas from Costco than dried chickpeas. I couldn't find dry ones anywhere that are cheaper than canned Costco.
i make a few kg per week and I'm really trying to find the cheapest way to make it
I’m just highlighting the differences in perception and time. Boxed cake vs mixing the ingredients yourself. Freezing brownie mix for later vs baking immediately. Though you do get much smoother, less metallic hummus from cooking the beans yourself. You’ve mistaken information for an argument
My remark was at the original commenter about it not being quick. Complaining it’s slow because you need to boil and cook beans is like saying it takes a long time to prep chicken breast, because you have a whole chicken instead of the assumed breasts.
And I finished my comment by pointing out that it could take as little as 20 minutes, including cleanup, affirming your comment.
If I cared to write a novel detailing every nuance of the human experience in regards to food, writing recipes, and clarifying myself indefinitely, I’d be a food blogger. I can see how you’d interpret what I’d written as something else, but in the end, you can just pull the relevant information from an internet person and move on.
There’s no social hierarchy here that you’d need to care about. Except food bloggers. They’re at the bottom.
Okay…? Why are you bloviating and thinking I’m arguing with you because I asked a couple questions? Nothing I said was aggressive or was even directed at you, do you think every comment is a slight against you? You started commenting to me, not the other way around for the record.
I know hummus takes a few minutes or couple hours, but it’s weird for someone to complain it’s not quick. Because they’re choosing a harder way for no reason. So maybe there was some valid reason that makes it better, but as you said there isn’t. Maybe there was a secret that wasn’t readily available online. But no… just snarky commentators.
As you said a premixed cake is quick. So if someone were to complain that no it isn’t, because you need to weigh stuff or some other secret…. That’s friggen strange dude, so maybe there’s a secret, so that’s why people ask and have a conversation. And then someone like you thinks they’re arguing? Give your head a shake dude.
Terrible analogy. Preparing chickpeas is simple but time consuming, butchering a chicken by hand is both time consuming and difficult (and disgusting - Ive seen it, by pure luck am the only one in my household to never do it).
Canned chickpeas, and some additives: a few minutes.
Soak chickpeas overnight: 2 minutes (labour). Cook in pressure cooker for about an hour: 10 minutes. Cool and blend: 3 minutes over about half an hour.
Maybe y'all got some magical equipment, or the stuff I had was shit. Aside from the fact I cooked my chickpeas myself, which ofc took 20 minutes cooking (and whole night of soaking), it took me so much time and effort to blend it properly, I swear. It was worth it, but that's one of the reasons I did it only once
I literally just open a can of chickpeas, dump all but a bit of the liquid (aquafaba) out, and pot the chickpeas, aquafaba, tahini, oil, garlic and spices into my food processor and set it to kill and I have delicious hummus 😁
i didnt fuck my hummus. i didnt cum on my hummus. i didnt put my dick anywhere near my hummus. Ive never done anything weird with my hummus. I promised myself i wasnt going to make apology videos after last years thing so im just trying to be as short and honest with this as possible (1/?)
Really ? count your blessings... I had my first political awakening at 12 after a nice plate of hummus with lebanese bread. It was a new, tingling sensation that left me wanting more... and sure enough it didn't stop there. At just 15, I got radicalized by a delicious falafel with red cabbage. It could have been a one-off, but noooooo, I had set foot on the slippery slope : dolmas, tapenade, merenjainade... the ancient power of mediterranean gastronomy had gotten a hold of me. This is how I became a leftist
that's like attaching buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropping it, Murphy's law means it will spin in place just above the ground, as both the cat must land on it's feet and the toast must land butter side down
I'd love it if that was a menu item in a restaurant. "Lefty nonsense". No explanation. If you ask about it, they'd just say "you'll just have to find out". You see, cooking is an art, it tells a lot about the artist. Will you get served social commentary thick with sarcasm or do they just reveal troubling things about themselves? It's a gamble.
If you are as tired as I am with that whole “breaking spaghetti in half makes Italians mad or whatever” meme, let me introduce you to “I make hummus with peanut butter instead of tahini”.
I'm American and even I got this look when I read that sentence.
Even just mashing up roasted peanuts isn't going to give the same flavor. It probably works texture wise, but I'm certain that my palette would reject the combination of chick peas and peanuts.
I've done that. It's not the worst. To be fair to me, I live in Korea and tahini is prohibitively hard to find. (Chick peas have at least become more common over the years.) Lately, I use olive oil and sesame seeds blended into a kind-of pseudo-tahini instead. It's definitely better than the peanut butter.
It’s a sliding patio door, with a bag of charcoal for their grill outside. You can see the vertical blinds hanging in the top left corner, which apartments frequently use to cover patio doors like this:
They simply opened the blinds to the side to get better lighting.
And the wooden dowel in the bottom of the track is used like a door bar, to keep burglars/home invaders from opening the door even if they manage to jimmy the lock:
They’re wearing jeans and a green jacket. You can see an arm in the bottom right corner, holding the plate. My guess is that they were looking for better lighting, and the sunlight from the patio door was the best spot they had.
