Hello there.
We finally picked up a few groceries and what is the first thing I do?
Make homemade hummus!
As you may know, hummus is a food group for me. Other foods are just ways to get more hummus into my belly.
I present to you the Hummus Crackwich.
I felt bad for all those baby chicks I was eating…
Hardy-har-har. Lame joke, I know.
It has been wayyyyy too long since I made hummus. After tasting this, I wanted to kick myself for getting out of the habit.
Sweet + Sour Homemade Hummus
Ingredients:
- 1 large can (540 ml/2 cups) organic chickpeas
- Approx 1 tsp Apple Cider vinegar (regular vinegar also works)
- 1-1.5 tsp Mr. Spice Sweet and Sour Sauce (the secret ingredient revealed!)
- 1.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced or chopped fine
- Pinch of sea salt (to taste)
- A bit of water to thin out, if you think it is necessary
Directions: Drain and rinse chickpeas. Add all ingredients into the food processor and process until smooth scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add a bit of water if you want to thin it out more.

I love Mr. Spice. The products are salt free, but they taste incredible! I don’t know how he does it. :happy: I think I picked up this bottle in the organic/natural food section in Loblaws.
The hummus was deelish! You could make this recipe without the S+S sauce or perhaps put another kind of sauce into the mix! I was wondering what a BBQ hummus might taste like? Perhaps using roasted chickpeas? Might be worth trying next time…
Did you know there is such a thing as DESSERT hummus!? I must try to make this. What flavour should I attempt? Do you think it would taste good?
New food creations make me all warm inside. :blush:
Just have discovered a love affair with hummus. Sweet and sour sounds sooo good. I think anything pb + chocolate would be pretty amazing.
Yumm.. can’t believe I’ve never made hummus before! I love it but my food processor is not the best thing ever.. not sure it can take it!
And chocolate mousse hummus?! Oh my my my…
Ahhh hummus. It totally does need it’s own food group!!
LOVE homemade hummus – your mix of stuff sounds so good!
Mmmm….sweet + sour hummus is brilliant! As are crack sammies with Mary’s + hummus! :-)
Bbut . . . no tahini! Ya gotta have some tahini in there!
I was wondering about that too! No tahini???
I don’t really like tahini much myself, but I always use it in hummus because I thought it was like, sacrilegious or something not to, haha.
Wow I’ve never heard of dessert hummus but would be curious! I saw a post about PB hummus today and that kind of weirds me out but I won’t knock it til I try it!
I haven’t had hummus in so long…you know why? Because it’s so so easy to make at home that I never buy it in the store. I haven’t made it in forever though!!
hummus crackwich love it :-) i have a love hate relationship with hummus, sometimes i like and others i’m not so sure, but i am always open to giving it a shot..
I have never heard of dessert hummus. I probably would like it though. Hummus + dessert. Nothing wrong with that. Yours sounds excellent.
I love hummus but never seem to re-create my favorite store bought varieties at home. Maybe I need to use fresh chick peas?
It’s definitely a food group all on its own, so versatile and yummy!
I predict a crackwich blog takeover in the near future….
Oh my dear. Yes, homemade hummus is amazing and it’s definitely a food group. That is one of the foods that used to be on my “hate” list! Insane. Your recipe sounds really yummy. Also, I definitely have those little sorbet cups from C+B. So adorable. AND you must must must try my curry honey hummus recipe [subbing brown rice syrup would work instead of honey I’m sure]. Dessert hummus? Sounds weird, but I’ll try it! LMAO to “crackwich”
Yum! A great food group! Crackwich sounds good! Thanks for the recipe.
I actually just got some of the Crazy Camel dessert hummus and it’s pretty good! It really doesn’t taste like true hummus and it’s not as creamy. I think because it’s missing tahini maybe? But it’s definitely tasty!
The hummus with the spoon totally looks like ice cream. It’s as good as ice cream, too.
wow wow wow
love hummus SO much
how about an almond butter-chocolate chip hummus //
yummy
Hmmm..strawberry hummus?? or ohhhh..maple hummus! I bet either would be yummy :)
Dessert hummus! Why, I’ve never heard of such a thing! You must make it, and report the findings back to your faithful readers. Pleeeeeeeeease. :)
Ohh I love homemade hummus :D I made dessert hummus once! My advice: Lots of sweetner lol. It was good, but I still detected a bean-y flavor
I love hummus it seems to go with everything! I have never thought of Dessert hummus but I am sure willing to try it. Keep up the great work!
