Aaah, the first person who has successfully completed the challenge! I am not too lazy to make hummus, but this is Finland and it is not so easy to find chick peas and especially tahini paste in the local KKK-RAP Market.arabella wrote:Sorry to totally derail your question daive!
Come ooon man, you really to lazy to make it yourself?
Arabella's Authentic-ish Hummus
1 can garbanzo beans
some lemon
some garlic
some paprika
some tahini if you can find it in your fridge
dump in blender. high speed until consistency of baby food.
et voila!
OK ... UPDATE ... Took a walk to my local supermarkets and they didn't have any of the essential ingredients, so got in the car (avec hangover still) and went to Myyyyrrrrrmäki, thankfully they had tahini paste and "presoaked" chickpeas, even though searching the store twice found them in the oriental section next to the sweet and sour sauce and wasabi paste! phew, now I will make it for dinner. All that hassle just so I can make my authentic shwarma.
Next challenge is to find proper middle eastern laffa bread and somewhere that sells taramasalata. Not so easy to make as I haven't really found any decent cod's roe here. These are the times I would really appreciate having a jewish delicatesen or new york style deli here in helsinki.
Bagel Mania is a franchise I think, that would be great to have here too.
Enough ranting, time to make the dindins!
