This Hummus was really good, but next time I will use about half the lemon juice.

Excellent hummus. I waited tables at a Syrian restaurant when I was in uni, so I love hummus. I used two cups chick peas, 3 heaping tablespoons tahini, and two cloves garlic. I added the reserved juice from the chick peas back in the processor until I reached my desired consistency. Love this stuff.

Excellent base recipe! I've added other things, deleted some, but you can't beat this as a base.

This is an awesome hummus recipe! I have made it about a dozen times now. Recently I tried soaking and using dried garbanzo beans instead of canned and it came even better. The text was really smooth and the color was better than with canned beans. Make sure you have an good blender or mixer or else it may take awhile to get it all blended together. As other reviewers have said, add the tahini and lemon juice a little at a time to taste. The first few times I made it the tahini was overpowering.

Recipe was very easy to make. I actually used a blender to mix this. And because of that I added a few more tablespoons of olive oil. But it was excellent. i added a bit more garlic to make it more flavorful also. Very easy hummus recipe

This is a fantastic starter recipe. I add about four times the garlic, a couple teaspoons of cumin and a tsp. of crushed red pepper. Delicious! My toddler thinks so, too.

This was my first time making hummus, used less than 2 cups of chickpeas and less of all other ingredients except garlic. Pretty much used halved amounts of ingredients, but garlic was way too spicy for me. I will continue to experiment with adding other spices, veggies, etc., but did use the liquid drained from can to smooth out the hummus. Served with Stacy's baked multigrain pita chips. Healthy recipe.

I just made this and I am very pleased. This is THE traditional hummus and I thought the amounts of everything were perfect. It should be noted though, that chickpea brands vary considerably in softness, tangy-ness, saltiness, and maybe other features, so experiment with several brands to find the one you prefer. This is also great with other add-ins, red pepper or chipotle being my favorites. Also, the dry red pepper used by our Arabic friends is available at Middle-Eastern stores.

I am picky about my hummus, but this recipe is awesome. I took another reviewers advice on the tahini and started small. I even left some sans tahini for a healthier snack- it was delicious.

I LOVE hummus so this was great to try. I did not have Tahini (good luck finding it here) but did everything else and even my children love to eat this. So yummy and so healthy, an absolute favorite. Great with Norweigen Flat Bread. And filling too!

I love this recipe as is. However, most of the time I make these few changes: 1 clove garlic about 1 teaspoon CUMIN and... if I don't feel like paying 5 bucks for a jar of tahini; I buy sesame seeds in bulk, roast (a must) about 3 tablespoons in the oven, and replace the tahini with that. Because I prefer roasting the sesame seeds I try to roast them while I have something else in the oven to save energy! :]

A good basic recipe. I'm glad I read the reviews that said to let the flavors meld overnight; it was so much better the next day. I can't wait to play with it more!

Outstanding recipe that I have used for about a few years now. I do like my hummus lemony and garlicky so I usually add a little more. I use the roasted garlic in the olive section of the salad bar at the store. I also add a few pinches of ground cumin. HMMMM

This was very good and I will for make it again. The only change I would make, would be to use 1/4 cup of tahini or less instead of 1/3 cup.

With a few modifications, this recipe is perfect! I use one can of garbanzo beans, and reserve the liquid. As one of the "most helpful" raters suggested, I shell all of the peas before blending -- this seems to make a HUGE difference in consistency. I can't NOT shell them now that I've tried it this way. I use 2 tablespoons of key lime juice, about 2 teaspoons of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of tahini, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and then blend until smooth (adding reserved bean liquid as needed). This version is a kid- and picky husband-pleaser. I make at least one batch a week to go with veggies, chips, crackers, etc. It gets better with time, too. It's almost imperative that you leave it in the fridge overnight before eating it to let the flavors meld. Mmm!

I have tried tons of different hummus recipes and this one is by far the best. Simple can certainly be better. I find that using organic chick peas works well. They tend to be softer and smaller and blend nicely. You can vary the consistency by saving a bit of the drained liquid and adding it as needed.

I followed the recipe exactly and it was fine, but certainly not great as far as Hummus goes. It was really thick and pasty, and could have used more zip (probably more garlic, perhaps more lemon). I enjoyed it anyway, but will try other recipes and if I use this one again, will experiment with it.

This has become a family standard. I may change it or adapt it at times for a new flavor or to use different ingredients I have on hand, but this is always the beginning.
