Really great! I added a splash of fresh lemon juice and served with corn chips and cucumber slices. I like my hummus a bit on the chunky side so I use a potato masher to break up the chick peas rather than putting them into a blender.

First, I'll say that if you have ever tasted homemade hummus, or good, quality hummus made fresh at a Greek or Middle Eastern restaurant, you will soon see that it's pretty much pointless to buy prepackaged hummus at your grocery store. I love this recipe because it's easy, I keep most of the ingredients on hand, and I feel that the lack of tahini gives the recipe broader appeal to those whose palates aren't accustomed to the flavors of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. I added a little more olive oil than the recipe called for, doubled the garlic, added some lemon juice, omitted the cumin, added some paprika and cayenne, and increased the salt a bit (but I also used no-salt-added garbanzo beans, which accounts for the need for extra salt). Fabulous. I love this recipe and will make it often!

So while I was at the store the other day I decided that I wanted to make hummus, but they didn't have any tahini there, then when I got home I realized that I forgot to buy a lemon. So I found this recipe and gave it a try, using peanut butter like some other reviewers suggested and adding extra garlic. It turned out pretty good. Not the best hummus I've ever had but definitely better than the packaged ones you can buy (which I hate).

I would not make this again. The cumin was too overpowering and the consistency wasn't like hummus either. It was also very unappealing.

This was my first experience with hummus, so I don't have any idea what it's supposed to taste like. I also hate Chick Peas. I put half the cumin like others said and I doubled the salt and olive oil. It was pretty good. I wouldn't crave it over brownies or anything but if you're into healthy, this is the way to go.

great recipe, if you are looking an alternative to hummus without tahini. i doubled the garlic, halfed the cumin, added a few shakes of ground red pepper, and some lemon juice. you really need to add a little lemon, otherwise the recipe just isn't has "bright". i really enjoyed this one!

This does NOT work in a blender. I will have to try again when I get better equipment. What I ended up with was bland, and I added sundried tomatoes too.

this is easy to make; however, i think there is too much cumin in the original recipe. I made mine with only 1/4 tsp cumin and that was enough spice for me - with this variation - i'd give it 5 stars.

This is a decent hummus recipie for those who insist on leaving out the tahini. The cumin saves it from being boring, but there is a distinct lack of creaminess.

REally Great Start. I like to add the juice of half a lemon, and a tablespoon of peanut butter. Adds extra protein, and is much cheaper and easier to come by than tahini. Also a little less bitter than tahini, for picky kids.

This was a very good basic recipe. I added more garlic, a little bit of lemon juice, and some cayenne for a little bite. In response to the reviewer who asked why we would want to leave out the tahini -- in addition to sesame being a pretty nasty allergen (as someone else pointed out), many of us live in areas where "international foods," especially Middle Eastern/Mediterranean foods, are not easy to come by, and when we can get them, they're not cheap. The best thing about this dish is that it is cheap -- I can make it for approximately 72 cents. If I were to buy tahini to add to it, it would make it about 6 dollars, because that's what an tiny, old, dusty jar of tahini costs at my grocery store. :)

I thought this recipe was very simple and easy to make! Mine came out a little runny because I wasn't watching what I was doing but it still tastes wonderful! Would eat again. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star was because it needs more zing! I put in some cayenne pepper. Lemon juice would be good too!

Thanks for a great tahini free recipe! Just as an FYI, tahini is made from sesame seeds and while it has nutrients, many children who have nut allergies, are also allergic to sesame - it's one of the top 10 allergens. This tahini free recipe is great for when you have children over - nutritious and safe.

Although tahini is high in fat (not a dieter's delight) it tastes wonderful and adds incredible texture and flavor, while low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It amply provides Thiamin, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper and Manganese, so I believe its benefits outweigh a couple of calories - why leave it out?
