AMAZING QUICK RECIPE! I added half a lime, half a jalapeno and used 1/2 tsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp seasame oil...oh I found this awesome recipe for chapsti bread instead of pita bread which I find to be too doughy http://allrecipes.com/recipe/indian-chapati-bread/. I served it with the warm chapati and fresh cucumbers. Soooo good! I suggest using a food processor or hand blender something that makes your margaritas isn't going topurée it all that well.

I made this for a get together about a month ago and everybody loved this. This was the first time to make hummus without the tahini. I'm making it again as my hubby really liked it. This time I'm going to add some roasted red peppers. It would be a great addition to a wrap or sandwich. UPDATE: I MADE THIS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND IT WAS AMAZING!!! I LOVE THIS STUFF

This was a great base recipe! I tried it just as the recipe calls for and then made a few adjustments. I added about a teaspoon of lemon juice and just a few sundried tomatoes to add a little something extra. I will make this again!

This was an excellent basic recipe. It has more of a dip consistency, and isn't as creamy as sesame based hummus, but all the same, I found it to be delicious. I added 1 tsp greek seasoning, lemon juice, white pepper, extra garlic and 1/4 roasted red pepper. I also added a few drops of sesame oil which it could have went without.

I rated it 4 because it needed so many adjustments. I agree with everyone else only use half the cumin, next time i would even go light handed with it. It needed the lemon to brighten it up, I think thats definitely necessary. I used 1tbs. but I think that was a bit much. Im' still waiting for it to sit in the fridge and blend, so i'll know what the final outcome is in about an hour. I wanted to make mine a roasted garlic version. I'm a garlic nut. I'll defn. add more of that next time. i roasted about 4 cloves in the oven with olive oil and added a few dashes of garlic powder and the cumin/sesame oil still overpowered it. I read some reviews saying they used sesame oil instead of olive oil. In the same tablespoon i did half olive oil half sesame. I think it gave it that traditional hummus flavor but i'll use more olive oil next time. I still think this is a great basic recipe. I live in Japan and tahini is hard to come by. I've been craving hummus and came across this recipe! I'll keep this is my books til i perfect it to my taste! Thanks for the post!

I agree w/ other reviews: 1/2 the cumin, add in 1 Tbl. lemon juice. I used less salt as my pita chips are quite salty already ;) I did add in 2 tsp. of fresh chopped parsley too. Also for kick, when it's done, put it in a bowl and swirl on some Siracha hot sauce on top, YUMMY!

Rated only 4 starts since I had to change it so much. Surprisingly, I had all of the ingredients needed for this hummus! I read the reviews beforehand and added in my own tweaks. I feel like these ingredients are a good BASE to a hummus recipe. I omitted the olive oil, doubled the cans of garbanzo beans, added 3 cloves of garlic and a tablespoon of garlic powder (I like it garlic-ky!), the juice of a whole lemon (I like it tangy!), and a tablespoon of sesame oil since I had no tahini, salt to taste, and a dash of paprika. It turned out really yummy! I will be bringing this to class for my lunch break.
