What's not funny, but probably classifies as hippy, is making hoummos 'by hand.' It is annoying beyond description. Not having a crunchy-munch (as we used to call Mum's food processor), and not being able to stomach paying $5 for a small plastic-encased tub of the stuff, I have been reduced to making this by crushing the cooked chick-peas with the side of a knife and mixing the whole lot up with a fork then trying (unsuccessfully) to coax our poor old blender into mulching it all up. Which amounts to: a lot of washing up and a very grumpy, and definitely not happy, "bit of a hippy."
1 hour or so later...worth the effort?Postscript: Yes...but I still want a food processor!!

Oh I hear you.... hommus is so cheap to make yet crazy expensive in shops for a little blob. I need a food processor too, but alas they are pricey as well :-(
My friend makes hers with just a stick blender and its so yummy, I don't think any knife edges are involved at all LOL but I've yet to try it with my cheapie stick.
Oh, the pains of us 'hippies'!
i dont own a muncher up-er either, i cant buy something i will only use a couple of times a year. a stick blender on the other hand could be good investment with little washing up involved & lots of uses. i will need to look into one after i have come up with at least a dozen uses for it :o)
My food processor and my pressure cooker are among a very short list of kitchen stuff I really love. I use one or the other or both of them nearly every day one way or another. Both probably ridiculously expensive originally (the pressure cooker was a gift from my mum and I don't dare ask, the food processor was a garage sale score. But I reckon I've got their value just in hoummos. Fifteen minutes in a pressure cooker, 2 minutes in the food processor. Can be done in the morning when I discover I've got nothing interesting to take for lunch and I'm in danger of succumbing to takeaway.
