Not bad, but I have a hard time going away from Tahini. I will say though that this is a great way to get a healthier version that is still tasty.

Great recipe, I highly recommend it; super easy to make. Didn't have jalapeno or cumin, so I left out the peppers & added curry powder instead. I played around with the amounts of bean juice & lemon juice (added a bit more to make it smoother) and added a teaspoon of olive oil. Be warned, 3 cloves of garlic makes a SUPER-GARLICKY hummous. Vary as needed! I'm never buying hummous again!

This recipe amazed me. I didn't think it would be good without tahini but, it was great! The fact that it is healthier than most other hummus recipes was a bonus. Very easy too!

This is so good and healthy! I added parsley and paprika, and didn't add the peppers. I will definitely use this again. Thanks

This hummus was super easy and so good! I'm a "hummus snob" too. I was skeptical about leaving out the tahini. I added a bit more garlic, a tsp of black pepper, a dash of tamari, and a chopped up green onion to give it some of the flavors of my fave Moosewood recipe. Great! I'm getting ready to make my second batch. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a tasty recipe that even my picky 12 year old likes and asks for! For a different twist, I have added a couple of drops of sesame oil. Give it a try! It doesn't last long at my house

This hummous was excellent, and received rave reviews from my guests. I didn't miss the tahini, and loved the addition of fresh jalepeno, it was just spicy enough. Next time I will double the amount of the garbanzo bean liquid to 2 Tbsp. for a more smooth texture. But there will certainly be a next time!

The recipe is easily scalable to much larger amounts. One thing I noticed is that in larger amounts, it started to get a bit too thick for the food processor to handle. My solution was to add a bit of crushed ice and water. It came out creamy and really good. Incidentally, I used dried garbanzos soaked overnight and boiled 3-4 hours instead of canned.

This is a great recipe. Best of all...it is soooooo quick! I added a little less garlic, 2 sundried tomatoes (originally packed in oil), and a little more salt. I also used pickled jalapenos because didn't have and fresh ones. The sundried tomatoes gave it a wonderful flavor and a really pretty reddish color. I served it with pita chips yesterday at my Superbowl party for those of us who want a healthier alternative to chips and dip. This was a great recipe and I will definitely be making it again and again. It's so much cheaper and better than store bought hummus.

Very good, very easy and...not unhealthy. The only change I made was using pickled jalapenos from the jar since I didn't have fresh on hand. My husband really liked this and he doesn't generally like hummus.

Now I did add 1/3 cup of tahini paste and 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar. I also put a little more cumin in, but I'm not sure how much. I was in a hurry, guests were arriving. So I added all the ingrediants plus my own and blended in the blender. Froze it for 10 minutes to chill and served. Everybody loved it, but now I'll have to try to follow the directions more closely or try to duplicate what I did again. Thanks for the guidance on what to do though. I love hummus at restaurants.
