Great! I hope you like garlic as I do! I added a 1/4 teaspoon of cumin and a couple of sprigs of parsley. Fantastic as a veggie dip or with pita bread!

OMG! Who would've thought a little can of garbanzo beans could transform into something so delicous! It doesn't get easier or much simpler than this! I cut the recipe in half and put everything into a mini food processor, used a little sesame oil as I didn't have any tahini and just back just a bit on garlic. I also added in the reserved bean liquid as needed along with just a splash of lemon juice vs. the whole amount. I served it topped with a bit of paprika and surrounded by homemade pita chips - YUM!

Using canned beans, be sure to rub them together to remove the skins! Save the juice because the mixture gets very thick. It was too thick for the blender, better use the food processor.

This is how I always make hummus, just add a little more of everything until it tastes right. It's a good base recipe to add to. I also add salt and pepper and sometimes olive oil. They have small cans of tehani (tahini) in the ethnic foods section at most grocery stores.

Death by Garlic: I strongly feel that the absolute max ratio of garlic cloves to (15oz) cans of garbanzos is 2:1. So, maximum 2 large garlic cloves to 1 can of 15oz beans. Even as a garlic lover, I only use 2 small or 1 large clove per can. This had so much garlic bite that it almost made me nauseous.

I just made this and it was very good! For those of you who don't have tahini, I didn't have any so I left that out and it still tastes like hummus to me.

Easy to prepare and a great taste! I made a perfect batch on the first attempt. The texture is perfect and the garlic is strong just how I love it. Those who don't like a strong garlic taste can just reduce the cloves to taste. Thank you for the recipe. I have to thank my french classmate for pointing out this site. Merci buckets Kelly!
