I wasn't able to find any previous threads that could fully answer this question.
I am looking for a store which sells fresh Hummus. Not the raw chickpeas and not preserved in a tin can. I'm talking about the real thing. Fresh.
From the practical perspective, I'm looking for places near the following locations: in Basel center or in Zurich near Zurich HB, Dietikon, Wallisellen, or Kloten (including the airport).
P.S. Restaurants that provide takeaway are also an option.
There's a stall at the Wednesday market at Zurich HB that sells great fresh hummus (among other things). It's also typically conveniently located by Grumpy's cheese stall: two awesome birds, one stone.
The Migros sell it too, not in a tin but in a plastic container, so it's Freshish... It's quite easy to make, the only difficulty is getting it smooth enough, otherwise all you need is garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and Tahina/Tahini which is found at Manor among other places, oh, and the chick peas, of course.
Yes, its the starchy chickpea water plus olive oil to make a blended emulsion. This by the way is precisely the same secret to great pasta and risotto.
I have been inspired. We are eating lebanese tonight. I have just now made the hummus - it's being left in the blender until needed so I can blend again. Added more lemon that usual as this is my taste. I have a load of parsley on the window sill which is going to be cut down in the prime of life, mixed with mint, tomato and burgur, olive oil and lemon juice to make a cracking tabbouleh and that might be it, or else I'll do and get some minced lamb/beef mix to make kofta.
For Tahina it's essential though for hummus, a blender is easier to clean - I just chuck it upside down in the dish washer. If I can use a blender instead of a magimix I will.
