It pains me to see people say they can't make good hummus, or that buying it is better than home made. Try this:

Hummus with a Louisiana Kick
2 cans of Garbanzo beans, 1 drained
1/2 cup tahini paste
2 T minced garlic
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 t red pepper
1 t salt
1/4 cup EVOO
4 T Italian parsley


In a food processor, add all ingredients except the parsley, and process until smooth. Then, add the parsley, and go another 15 seconds. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with toasted or untoasted pita bread.


Cut the recipe in half if you want. Be sure and process until COMPLETELY SMOOTH.

good recipe. fresh squeezed lemon is pretty important here, IMO. also I add the evoo as the blender is running.

Made hummus on Sunday.

Used a similar recipe but added a dash of paprika.

That's pretty close to the recipe I use. I also add a couple of tablespoons of sour cream.

You should try putting the tahini and lemon juice in the food processor first and run it for about a minute, scrape down the sides and then run about 30 seconds or so till it gets light a fluffy. I find it really improves the texture.

Pretty much the recipe I use. I make hummus a lot but it always tastes better at restaurants. I'll keep trying and adjusting things.

Nope. I don't care for cumin in hummus. I prefer the red pepper.

Zest that lemon and add it to your mix. I also throw in some
Kalamati olives, roasted red bell pepper and
Pepperoni.

I peel the beans. It makes it much creamier.

I do like the lemon zest, and streaming in the evoo is a good step. I prefer to dress the finished product with olives and/or paprika as opposed to incorporating them.

I've read a few ideas about peeling, and possibly cooking the beans in water.

I like sprinkling sumac on the finished product.

use this recipe hummus

I add more lemon and garlic than what the recipe calls for. Eden Garbanzo beans in a can are really good to use and rinsing them most of the skins fall off.

Before you go to bed put some dry garbonza beans in a slow cooker. Use that the next day to make your Hummus....... comes out WAAAAYYYYYYY more betta.

I like to churn a roasted red pepper off up in there.

My process is:

Dry 1 can garbanzo beans
Peel skins off of them
Mix in ninja a couple of big spoonfuls of tahini, a roasted red pepper, salt and pepper, a little olive oil, and garlic
Slowly add beans and oil to desired creaminess

Eat with triscuits or carrots

Peeling the skins seems like it would take forever

Almost identical to mine. However, i like to make sure it melds in the fridge for a couple hours before eating
