What is special about this hummus? There are dozens of recipes posted for hummus, just type it into the search bar above. If there is something that distinguishes it, let us know!

This hummus recipe is the best. It is also the best thing on their menu. Spiced just right with a natural sweetness offset by just the right amount of heat. It is a tomato based whole bean hummus unlike other tahini or oil and lemon based whipped hummus recipes. I have even written to the editor of our newspaper's food section who researches and publishes restaurant recipes.No recipe yet.
The closest I have gotten to reproducing this wonderful recipe is from the video the restaurant chef did with Guy Fieri when he brought his show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" to San Antonio and featured Moroccan Bites Restaurant. I have guess-timated the amounts called for but would love to have the real thing,

I found these two pictures for the Moroccan Hummus served in the Moroccan Bites Restaurant, but not the recipe:

And this is the only similar recipe found at Guy Fiery's Show:

BLACK BEAN HUMMUS RECIPE - 15 reviews -

Show: Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives - Episode: Blue Plate Special

made with garbanzo and black beans and you can serve with whole garbanzos on top, like in the restaurant pictures above:

Hi Than you so much for your comments. I am in London England UK and would love to know how I could watch that particular video once again !
Any ideas ? And, where can I look-up your own recipe on this?
Thanks.

Hey that black bean hummus recipe sounds great, will try out . Thanks a lot.[/quote]

[Vinodc50]

Hi! There. Thanks for your feedback. I will write to the newspaper and let us see where that takes us. I am in London, England UK and am trying to find out if a replay of that particular TV-video is available. It REALLY was a special recipe and it did capture my attention when it was being aired. Our host chef was questioning my request - he must have missed watching the Moroccan Bites video. Thanks again. Have a good one. [/b]

The Moroccan Bites episode is available for viewing on youtube.

Thanks for sharing that youtube video, Peachez.

I found this other video with the Moroccan Hummus recipe, where Guy Fieri and Nadia, the Moroccan cook, are describing the 19 ingredients added, but not the amounts.

Maybe Vinodc can figure out and reproduce the recipe according to what Chef #204188 wrote above.

This is the video:

MOROCCAN BITES RESTAURANT IN SAN ANTONIO, TX, USA - PART 2 -
MOROCCAN HUMMUS VIDEO RECIPE -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvgIEYT8ufU

And these are the 19 ingredients described by them:
olive oil, chopped celery, green pepper, red pepper, onions, tomatoes, chopped garlic, parsley, salt, paprika, cumin, ginger, coriander, bay leaves, red pepper flakes, yellow zafron, and water.
Cook for 20 minutes and add cooked and drained whole chickpeas and then add tomato sauce. Cook for another 20 minutes. Serve with the whole chickpeas, don't make a pureé.

Wow! That is the real deal - I have been waiting over a year and I WILL try this out and hopefully post a recipe with more accurate measurements and weights after some experimentation ! I am off to Thailand for a golfing holiday and will only be able to try out and then post .... soon after mid- March (2013). Thank you so much for your feed. It made my day.

U R very welcome, Vinod. Thanks for your response and glad to hear that was the real recipe you were looking for.

Hope that you recreate your own similar recipe soon, and post it here in Food.com as a public recipe, so we can make that delicious hummus or chickpea and vegetables stew.

Meanwhile, enjoy your trip to Thailand for a golfing holiday.
