I am a recovering vegetarian. I had a girlfriend many years ago that was totally holistic from her mom on down and as a result I strayed from my meat eating ways for many years (5 to be exact) and I never quite got over it, every now and then I lapse back into "the life" - yup I have nutritional yeast in my fridge and I use it mostly on popcorn, my kid loves it he calls it "the good stuff" as in "daddy does the popcorn have a lot of the good stuff" so here we go I made hummus.
I soaked the chickpeas, garbanzos or whatever over night and then simmered them until soft with some garlic cloves. I also fried some of the soaked beans in olive oil and then sprinkled sea salt and old bay seasoning for a snack.
Throw it in the food processor always drizzleing olive oil until its nice and creamy or as creamy as a bean can be and then put it on a plate and eat it with some pita bread or tortillas or crackers or whatever you want.

Nutritional yeast -- excellent. I like to use cannelini beans for dips as well. Not as much flavour as chick peas, but a nicer texture, imo.
V: brewers too but I use it more in smoothies for the kick.
I've never used brewers. What's the taste like? Just malty or different?
no ..totally yeasty and like vegemite..its strong. use it like a "seafood" spice.
We are going to be doing a bit of dieting around here, so kicking and screaming I will be eating a little less red meat-and more veggies and grains....
I love hummus!!!! I like to put in some chopped kalamata olives and walnuts. It's practically a whole meal on it's own. However, if I can have it with falafel or kibbee...I am a happy camper.
yum! Looks soooo good!
Can this be done in a blender instead of a food processor?
GFT: it gets pretty thick, an immersion blender would be easier to manage I think
