Hummus Vegan recipe?

What the everloving hell? Making hummus is pretty much totally vegan, I can’t actually come up with a recipe that isn’t vegan - it is chickpeas, olive oil, garlic and potentially parsley or paprika sprinkled on top. Until you get into some of the funky ones [what is in chocolate hummus?] it should not include dairy or critter bits.

I can not believe what I see online sometimes like diet water, gluten free water [!] and vegan whatever …

A proper hummus always has lemon juice. Still vegan, but it should be pointed out.

And tahini, of course.

The hummus paste itself is totally vegan. What may be non-vegan are potential funky garnishes like ground beef.

I’m wondering if the recipe you saw includes “Vegan” as a search engine optimization tool, so folks searching for “vegan recipes” or “vegan dips” or “vegan chickpeas” will have that recipe come up on the first page.

This must be it. :arrow_up:

I just . . . I can’t . . .

While hummus in the US is typically vegan, someone unfamiliar with it may not know if it’s made with, say, dairy.

I guess we Arkansans could put lard in it instead of sesame oil.

Italian POWs held in Arkansas during WWII rioted when given lard instead of olive oil.

Hummus with ground beef (and pine nuts, garlic and spices) is a popular Middle Eastern dish.

Well, at least you could eat around the meat. The hummus is really just a container in that presentation.

That looks really good.

I suppose, mrAru suggested bacon jam as an ingredient for hummus =)

I just am baffled because as I said, hummus [proper original hummus] is a limited list of vegetable based ingredients.

Great, my goddaughter just chimed in about the amount of bug parts allowed in american commercially made foods… yuck.

It does, doesn’t it? I know what I’m having for dinner tonight.

I suppose you could, but you’re supposed to eat the hummus and the meat together.

Many farmers exploit bees to pollenate their crops. Are plants that are so pollenated, still vegan?

“Gluten free water” was bottled in a plant that does not process gluten-containing foods. For some people, that’s as important as being, say, peanut-free.

True, but water is still a bit of an oddball because it’s not something you tend to even expect might use gluten-containing equipment. I’m pretty sure it’s on the list of things you don’t actually have to test for gluten to label as gluten free.

You know that’s literally homeopathy?
