Hummus tehina is a variant of Israeli style hummus, that contains chickpeas, tahini (tehina in Hebrew), lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and rarely it may contain olive oil. This is the most common variety of hummus in Israel, and it is made by both Jewish and Arab Israelis. It is traditionally made as a combination of chickpeas and tahini, or through the combination of the aforementioned ingredients. Unlike other varieties of hummus, the emphasis in hummus tehina is on the combination of chickpea and tahini, whereas other Middle Eastern styles of hummus typically have more garlic and lemon flavor, have many different consistencies (some grainy, some not), and often have less of a variety of toppings than hummus tehina.[1]

At a hummusiya in Haifa, this is also served topped with whole chickpeas or cooked mushrooms, as well as some Galilean olive oil, with an array of housemade hot sauces on the dining table such as zhoug, harissa, and a unique lemon juice concoction that has been infused with crushed garlic cloves.[13]

This variety of hummus is made with chana dal, an Indian bean similar to a chickpea, instead of the traditional chickpeas used in most Israeli hummus. This dish also incorporates a jalapeno pepper (which is not a traditional ingredient found in Israeli style hummus), as well as a large volume of garlic. The use of chana dal lends this hummus a darker brown color compared to the usual lighter color of other Israeli style hummus. However its high tahini content is typical of Israeli style hummus, and the toppings commonly served with it are also more traditional such as toasted pine nuts, roasted mushrooms, etc.[19][20][21]

Beet hummus is a variant of Israeli style hummus which incorporates beets, which are popular in Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine. Beet hummus originated in Tel Aviv, and is popular in fine dining restaurants there.

Hummus Mashawsha, also known as חומוס משאוושה in Hebrew, is a popular variant of Israeli style hummus originating in the Upper Galilee region of Northern Israel. Mashawsha is somewhat similar to masabacha, although with a few key differences. Mashawsha is made with chickpeas that have been crushed prior to cooking, which results in the cooked chickpeas taking on a more paste-like consistency compared to the whole chickpeas used in Hummus Masabacha. These cooked, cracked chickpeas are then combined with the other ingredients typical of other styles of Israeli hummus, such as tahini (although not much tahini is used in this variety), lemon juice and garlic, to create a unique variety of hummus that has a texture similar to a chunky stew. Hummus Mashawsha is served in a bowl with a "swoop" of a spoon, and is often topped with whole cooked chickpeas and a liberal amount of olive oil. The flavor and texture of Hummus Mashawsha differs from other varieties of Israeli hummus. It has been described as having not having much tahini flavor, and having a strong lemon flavor, and a sharp bite from the chunks of chopped garlic used in its preparation.[24] The texture of Hummus Mashawsha is likewise, very unique, and appears to be lumpy but tastes very smooth, and has been likened to that of a hot custard.[25] It can be found throughout Israel, but is most common in the north of the country and in Tel Aviv.

This particular variant of Israeli style hummus is only served at this restaurant, and has a unique, very thick texture unlike other types of Israeli hummus, which are typically thinner due to the quantity of tahini used. The flavor of Hummus ashkara is said to not be very spicy, and does not contain much spice as the flavor of the chickpea itself is the main flavor of this Israeli hummus.[16] Hummus Ashkara is served hot, and topped with cooked chickpeas and a hard boiled egg,[26] also known as a beitza.[27] Another variant of Hummus Ashkara has the same, thicker texture than other Israeli style hummus, but also has a stronger garlic and lemon flavor.[28]

Dobronsky and Cohen were inspired by the Israeli hummus they enjoyed at the aforementioned Hummus Ashkara on a trip to Tel Aviv, and developed their own American adaption of this variant of Israeli style hummus. This Israeli hummus is offered at their restaurant, and is similar to the other variants of Israeli style hummus they offer, except for its much thicker texture and stronger garlic and lemon flavor, and more pine nuts, olive oil and parsley added.[29][28][30]

Galilee style hummus, also sometimes known as Hummus Maushaushe,[33] or Hot Hummus[34] is a type of Israeli style hummus originating in the Upper Galilee region of HaZafon, Northern Israel. Galilean style hummus is very commonly served in Northern Israel, but can also be found in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and abroad. Its characteristics may vary, but it has a few fundamentals. It is traditionally served hot,[35][36] while most other Israeli style hummus is served warm or room temperature. It is traditionally topped with a liberal amount of local Galilean olive oil. Many varieties of Galielean style hummus are a unique combination of a creamy, airy style Israeli style hummus (such as the aforementioned hummus tehina), with the addition of some cooked chickpeas which are either lightly mashed, left whole,[37] or cooked until they are falling apart. Some varieties of Galilean style hummus are smooth and creamy and are distinguished from other varieties and Israeli hummus because they are served hot with a generous amount of local olive oil on top.[38]

Shlisha is a variant of Israeli style hummus. Shlisha originated in the Upper Galilee area in 2003, with the opening of local hummusiya, which has since expanded, with a subsequent opening of a second location in Tel Aviv, where Shlisha is now more commonly found.[39] It is a combination of three types of Israeli style hummus served together in one dish, Israeli Hummus Tehina, Hummus Mashawsha, and Hummus Ful are combined on the same plate, though they are not mixed together and remain separate. Israeli Hummus Shilsha is topped with olive oil and a sliced haminado, a slow-cooked egg of Sephardic Jewish origin somewhat similar to a hard boiled egg,[40] that has a unique creamy texture and brown exterior due to its being cooked for many hours, often overnight, as part of the traditional Sephardic Shabbat stew, hamin, from which it derives its name.[12]

Curried Onion and Cauliflower Hummus is a variant of Israeli style hummus invented by Israeli American chef Alon Shaya at his eponymous New Orleans restaurant, Shaya, which served Israeli cuisine. This variant of Israeli style hummus consists of a classic Israeli style hummus (similar to a Hummus Tehina), which has been topped with Israeli fried cauliflower and fried onions that have been seasoned with curry powder. This dish is one of the signature dishes at his restaurant, and is a very popular dish in the city of New Orleans.[41][42] Curry is not a commonly used ingredient in Israel, however fried cauliflower is a very popular dish in Israel, and is often used to top hummus in Israel as well.[43] The use of fried cauliflower in this dish is a nod to its popularity in restaurants in Israel, where it is often served with mint[44]

Israeli style hummus with chicken livers and caramelized onions is a variation of Israeli style hummus. In Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, chicken livers are considered a traditional food and are traditionally prepared by browning or sautéing them with caramelized onions. This type of Israeli style hummus is a result of the fusion of Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jewish cuisine, typical of modern Israeli cuisine. It is a commonly gsriety of Israeli hummus, and can be found in restaurants throughout the country as well as in those serving Israeli cuisine abroad.[45][46][47]

Israeli pickles are almost always served alongside Israeli hummus in restaurants across the country, and serve as both a palate cleanser (due to their strong, acidic flavor), as well as an accompaniment because they pair well with the hummus.[48]

Harif is a popular Israeli hot sauce similar to harissa, whose name is derived for the Hebrew word for spicy, and is made from red chilis, kosher salt, garlic, olive oil and vinegar. It is commonly paired with Israeli style hummus.[47]

Beitza, the Hebrew word for hard boiled egg, is a common Israeli style hummus that is unique to Israel. The origin of this pairing is likely unknown,[15] but likely originated within Jewish cuisine (as hard boiled eggs are a common, traditional food among most Jewish ethnic divisions).[48]

Israeli style hummus is commonly served with "onion petals", or pieces of onions, in hummusiyas across the country. The onions used for these onion petals are typically white onion, as well as the not commonly-known pita or laffa bread. This pairing originated in the 1950s in Israel, as onions are one of the most inexpensive vegetables and were plentiful during that time. In the early days of the modern State of Israel, rations were in effect and poverty was widespread in the country, making pita bread too expensive for some to eat with Israeli style hummus.[48][50]

Bavel, a restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles is best known for its hummus served with duck nduja, as well as other varieties of hummus, which Chef Ori Menashe has said is inspired by his youth in Israel, and specifically the Palestinian hummusiya Abu Hassan in Yafo.[56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64]
