If you've never made homemade hummus, let this serve as your cue to give it a shot
Photo: Kristin Teig Brooklyn’s beloved Middle Eastern market Sahadi’s opened in 1948, and no trip there is complete without a half-quart of its incredible hummus. In honor of store’s first cookbook, Flavors of the Sun, we talked to Christine Sahadi Whelan, co-owner, granddaughter of the founder, and author of the book, about her favorite kitchen tool — and how to make that hummus.
At the store, the Sahadi’s staff uses an industrial-size blender to turn out all that hummus. But at home, Whelan employs her trusty Blendtec Total Blender Classic, which she’s owned for a decade. She turns to it for dressings and sauces because it emulsifies beautifully and efficiently: pomegranate balsamic, green tahini, harissa aioli, and preserved-lemon vinaigrette .
But most importantly, the Blendtec is the only route to making hummus as good as it tastes in the shop. The blender’s high speed ensures a creamy, fluffy result that can’t be achieved with a lesser model or a food processor, both of which tend to leave the hummus grainy and fail to pulverize any spare chickpea skins that may have made their way into the batch. “If you don’t have a really good blender, you have to add a lot of ice water or cooking liquid to help smooth things out,” she explains.
