4 stars for being a basic recipe intended to be hummus at its most simplified, but it's definitely bland. Personally, I think hummus needs to have at least some lemon juice to brighten it up, but this recipe is a good foundation for making your own hummus to suit your own tastes.

When I made this I toasted the sesame seeds which brought out a nice flavor. I made it with verbal instructions from my mom and the step to cook the garlic was accidentally missed, but it still turned out great. I loved how fast it was to make too.

I would give the recipe less stars except I have to take some of the blame myself. The garlic was too mild after cooking it and the beans didn't all get to the right consistency with the processor I was using. I couldn't get the right taste with the salt and pepper. I actually dumped it and had to buy store bought for the luncheon. If I try this again I will smash and chop the garlic real fine and add it raw. And instead of the liquid from the beans, I'll use the olive oil directly in the mix along with lemon juice.

I am giving this recipe three stars, mostly because of my own silly blender. In order to work at all well the blender needs a certain amount of water always inside. The hummus came out with the consistancy of mashed potatoes (lol) but it was a good recipe. Once I find my food processor, I plan on making it correctly.
