This is a pretty good recipe however, in my opinion this is too much sesame tahini and too little lemon juice. Sesame Tahini can be a bit bitter if its over used. I also put a bit more olive oil in mine. This is a great starter recipe for someone who hasn't made hummus before.

This is a great starter recipe for some awesome hummus! I love garlic so I added a couple of extra freshly minced cloves. Fresh lemon juice is a must, as well as about 1 tsp of ground cumin and a couple of dashes of cayenne pepper. Like other reviewers, I used a bit less tahini and had to use some reserved juice from the garbanzo beans (about 4-6 TBLS) in order to get the right consistency. No need to buy hummus when you can make it as awesome as this!

This wasn't the best hummus I've ever had. Too much garlic for me, I'm used to very little or no garlic in my hummus. Also I used less tahini than called for because I was concerned about the amount. I think if I made this again I would omit garlic. Remember to keep the chickpea liquid because this is VERY thick if you don't add some back in (not sure why it doesn't mention that).

This was great! I made alterations (I think you're supposed to, right? It's hummus), including more than a dash of Mrs Dash- tomato basil garlic blend. Sooooo good. The only downside, if you can call it that, was that the flavors were so powerful and awesome it made all other food tasteless and stupid. I had to brush 3 times to enjoy dessert later lol

This was so great, fresh and delicious, makes you never want to buy hummus again after eating this. We did not have the tahini so we used sesame oil and it was good.

Too much tahini for my taste, but the recipe as a whole is easily modified to taste. Next time I will only use two tablespoons tahini per two cups chickpeas.

Very good! We made our own Tahini in our Food Processor (sesame seeds). Came out great!

I followed other's suggestions and added 1/4 tsp. of ground cumin, 4 garlic gloves, a touch of cayenne, a bit more lemon juice, and a little bit of the garbanzo bean liquid. It is very tasty
