Hummus I

Tasty and delicious! I added a small amount of hot sauce.

Delicious! I substituted one can of garbanzo beans and one can of cannellini beans (they have more flavor and a smoother texture) and I sauteed the garlic in a little sesame oil to release the flavor and kill the bite and then added the tahini to the pan and sauteed it as well. I blended all other ingredients and added the tahini mixture last and processed until smooth. Amazing! It’s a big batch so I separated it and added a little cumin to one batch. This one is a keeper.

Way too much lemon juice for my taste.

The lemon zest gave it a very bitter aftertaste. This needs olive oil in it!

Hummus without olive oil qualifies for a lenten style spread and this is a good recipe. I would double the amount of garlic as I prefer my hummus a bit “hotter”. Ditto for the lemon juice. Bottomline: this qualifies for a “build/taste as you go” type recipe.

Best hummus I’ve ever tried! I did take another reviewers advice and add 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/2 tsp cumin.

It was good! I added onions and green peppers for extra flavor… It was a little too liquid but I’m letting it set in the refrigerator for one day and see if it gets better. Thank you!

This recipe was ‘OK’. Good start but did need some major adjustments. I began with the recipe originally written, did the taste test & had to adjust from there. To start- when draining the beans, RESERVE the liquid & set aside. Do NOT add WATER! Instead, add the reserved liquid as needed until desired consistency is acquired. Water will do nothing for flavor! Skipped lemon zest- found it pointless. Used minced garlic out of a jar instead of cloves, & I can say I used about 1.5 Tbsp. so I’m not sure 2 cloves would be enough (depending on size). Parsley & green onion I added less of. Too much green was not doing much for a real hummus flavor & no good for aesthetic appeal. Also agree w/ other reviewers- NO olive oil or cumin?! Necessity for a true hummus! HAD to add about 1/3 Tbsp. of cumin & at least 1.5-2 Tbsp. of olive oil. Did need the salt & pepper, to really bring the flavor out. But I suggest starting w/ the recipe as originally written, doing the taste test, then adding more of each ingredient as needed until the desired flavor is acquired. Really did find myself having to add more of almost all the flavoring ingredients as hubby & myself were doing the taste test along the process. I still question why green onion or parsley should be included. Added onion powder to taste & that was perfect, without the parsley. Parsley would only be good as a ‘garnish’. Good base- but really needs adjusting + the olive oil & cumin! Thanks for a good start.

We eat hummus all the time at my house. I add about 1/2-1/3 cup of evoo, no onion or parsley or pepper. Sometimes I’ll throw a roasted red pepper into the food processor to have roasted red pepper hummus once in a while. My husband is Lebanese and really likes my hummus.

I gave this a 4 because I modified it based on another reviewer’s comments. I also added 1/2 tsp cumin and 1/4 cup olive oil. Next time I’ll also add a little water. It made the consistency less thick and easy to spread. It is a winner.

Since I tried this recipe, I have made it several times. My faminly insists on having this available for a snack. I had trouble finding the tahini…(it was with orential food) Thank you to the other reviews for describing it, so I knew what I was looking for.

Love this hummus! I’ve made it with and without the tahini and it was good either way. I never use the parsley or lemon zest. Also I add olive oil like a lot of other reviewers suggested…maybe 1/4 cup. I crave this version of hummus over the stuff at my favorite Greek restaurant.

The best. Can’t stand cumin and low calorie without the olive oil. I did add 1/4 cup plain greek yougurt (for extra creamy texture) and roasted garlic for some kick.

Great base recipe. Used it to make my own changes so I knew the right proportions to use.

Enjoyed this very much. Halved the recipe and added 2 cloves of garlic, added a bit of oil,more lemon and a bit of water to make it thiner and some morrocan spice. Would try red onions next time and I added all the zest from the lemon after it was pureed. Very nice. Might try some roasted pine nuts as well or seasame seeds. Definitely making again. Like the nutrition level.

definitely follow the reviewer advice to add cumin, oil, and water. Very tasty and easy with a food processor

Not much flavor to this recipes. It is greatly improved by the addition of olive oil, cumin and crushed red pepper.

I really enjoyed this recipe, I did substitute cilantro for the parsley and I also added some olive oil and some water to get the right consistency. Will definitely make this recipe again.

Wow. This tastes just like the stuff at my favorite restaurant, except needed a little salt and more garlic…both easy fixes. Also recommend using a REALLY good food processor. Came out perfectly. Texture and flavor are really authentic.

Absolutely wonderful! This was my first time making homemade hummus. Now that I’ve done this, I will never purchase the store-ready stuff again!
