Hummus and Crudités

This is unusual, but my husband liked it. I am not sold on it, though. I used pumpkin seed oil (only 3 tablespoons) because it was what I had I hand. I am not sure what I am supposed to do with the other 3 tablespoons. I added some pepper and 1/2 tsp salt. I also used 2 cups of home-cooked dried chickpeas rather than canned. I ate it with veggies as suggested. I don't like the sweetness and I think I'll stick to regular hummus from now on.

This is a great consistency hummus, but I definitely cut the oil by over half. I also doubled the garlic, but that's just me, and I've tried it with pesto added as well. Perfect really for lunches!

I thought this recipe was fantastic. It's so simple and comes out wayyy better than what you can find in a store. I added extra salt which brought out the more subtle flavors of sugar and cumin. This will be a staple snack in our fridge from now on!

I think this is the start of a fairly decent receipe, but it has to have tahini added.. that is must in hummas. Hummas is a nice appetizer, and it needs to have lemon and parsley added with olive oil,,,, and then add your eggplant, red pepper, etc. for flavors!

It was a nice, but not stellar hummus. I think that it's a good enough base to add roasted red peppers, tahini, eggplant, etc... to your own taste.

Hummus is new to me, so perhaps I am not the best judge of what makes for a great tasting hummus. I doubled the garlic and used a 1/4 teaspoon salt. I wouldn't go so far as to say this recipe was bland, but it didn't ignite my taste buds. I liked the taste of the lemon with the carrots I ate with it.

I agree, hummus isn't without tahini. I made this recipe as it is, and I found it pretty bland. I added another T of lemon juice, 1 T tahini, and a t of salt. It was an easy recipe, but you may as well find another that you don't need to add other ingredients to.

真正的鹰嘴豆泥需要至少有几堆tablespoons of sesame paste aka tahini. Without that, it is not hummus, you have blended garbanzo beans with some seasoning.
