how do you use humous...?

Question

other than as a spread or a dip?

Answer 1

Crisp some tortillas in the oven or by frying. Allow to cool then "slather" generously with your favorite hummus, finally, top like a pizza with any or all of the following:

Tapanade (a condiment of minced ripe olives, garlicsalt, pepper and olive oil)
Thin sliced cucumber
shaved red onion
julienned roasted red peppers
crushed red pepper flakes (sparingly)
Finely crumbled Feta

then drizzle with XVOO, top with a few grains of salt and fresh ground black pepper...

Cut into wedges and enjoy!

Humous can be used a in a variety of ways, but the most common is use it like a dip, with pita bread. It can also be spread on food. Depending on who makes it, it's a very delicious part of a meal :)

Answer 3

MMM, hummus is so yummy. If you don't like to make your own, Whole Foods makes some delicious different flavors you might like. Here's some recipes:

Hummus Pit-za

6 (6-inch) pitas
1/2 pint container store bought plain hummus
1/2 cup prepared olive tapenade
3 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella or a combination of the 2
6 anchovies, chopped, optional
3 whole roasted red peppers, drained, chopped
1 can artichoke hearts in water, 6 hearts, drained well and chopped
1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini, chopped, optional
Handful of flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Arrange the pitas on baking sheets or sheets. In a bowl combine the hummus and the olive tapanade. Spread the hummus on pitas and top with cheese, like pizza. Combine the chopped anchovies, peppers, artichokes, and pepperoncini. Cover the pizzas with the chopped mixture. Bake 10 to 12 minutes to melt cheese and crisp the pitas. Cut pizzas into wedges and garnish with parsley.

Answer 4

I use it in sandwiches, which I guess could be considered using it as a spread. I put it on french bread with veggies such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumber & onions.

I have never heard of any non-spread/non-dip uses for hummus.

Answer 5

Dip w/ Peta bread.
