Yummy! I added 1/4 cup of tahini. Didn’t have any olives on hand and it was still great!
Brilliant performance
I’m on it!! Thank you!
I have to disagree with Sporto2 – REVITHOSALATA is definitely on a Greek taverna menu! Any tavernas I’ve frequented in Thessaloniki (live there the last 9 years have it on their menu.
Anyway – doesn’t matter where it came from, the recipe is easy to do and yummy!!! Have to say though – PNSMOM is right!!! If you’re making it all your life, why read a recipe for it??? :
Great recipe. Just made it. Everyone loved the tasting. Taking it to a party, I know they will love it. Put in extra garlic about 6 cloves. (I made a double batch.
Good hummus recipe! I added fresh cilantro as that was what I had on hand. And to all the reviewers who are Middle Eastern and have been making “way better hummus all our lives”…why are you looking up hummus recipes? Just sayin…
Phenomenal and super-easy to make. I didn’t have fresh oregano so I went with dried. Still amazing. Added an extra clove of garlic.
Great recipe but does need the olive oil.
The reviewers nikkijayh_7902157, smondo, Chef #894962 definitely need to lighten up.
i am an american born armenian, my parents were from jordan. i laugh at how non middle east people interpit the middle eastern fare. radishes.olives, tomatoes,and cukes on the side.but for a real gourmet flair is chopped pistachio’s sauted in butter and then drizzled on top of hummus when its done.
I agree with Alida. You people really do need to lighten up. Hummus is also a staple in Israeli households and I didn’t take offense in Rachael saying it had a Greek flare.
