Excellent recipe. I hesitated to purchase the huge jar of tahini at $5+, but now have confidence that it will get used up just from this recipe alone. I only added about 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and it's perfect. By the way, garbanzo beans and chickpeas are the same thing.
This is awesome!! It gets better after sitting in the fridge. I attempted hummus one other time with a yucky mess...this is THE recipe for great hummus. It's basic, quick, and very flavorful. While my kids (2yrs & 5yrs) thought it was too garlicky, I thought it was exactly right (it also mellows a little after a day or two)Also, I don't buy tahini (since I can never find small amounts) I just toasted sesame seeds until fragrant (not browned) and whipped them into a paste with 1 tsp. oil and used that for my recipe. This will be a staple in our house.
This was wonderful! Made a few small changes though: only added 1 clove of garlic, reduced lemon juice to 2 tablespoons, subbed in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil for the tahini (I had none), and used chickpeas in place of the garbonzo beans. After that there was no reason to season with salt and pepper because it was perfect. Great recipe!
I was unsure about red peppers in hummus normally a favorite sammie filling for me but I gathered up my courage and dumped them in anyway and am I glad! My children ate this up my eight yo said she likes it better than our usual recipe and my toddler decided to forego the pita bread altogether and just eat the hummus with a spoon! I put it in sammies with kalamata olives chopped fresh red pepper chopped cucumber feta cheese with lemon juice olive oil and balsamic vinegar sprinkled on top. One problem with the instructions: the intro says bring to room temp before serving but the directions say to chill until ready to serve. Maybe you are supposed to keep your house very cold?:)
This is a nice recipe although I would cut down on the amount of tahini; I found that it had a little bitter after taste that wasn't exactly what I was aiming for. It was well received by the adults at the party but virtually every kid turned their nose up (as kids are apt to do!).
I usually prefer my hummus to be more grainy and I'd never had it with roasted red peppers before but I was in the mood for something different. Well I'm glad that this was the recipe I picked! It was very good with home-baked pita chips. I only had Realemon juice on hand so I cut down on the listed amount and it was fine. For sure something I would make for a party.
i made this hummus as a class project for a 6th grade class and it ws gone after 10 minutes!! this is kid friendly and adult friendly. Everyone should try it!
This is by far the best hummus recipie I have made (and believe me I have tried a lot). It even tastes great without the red pepper!
Very tangy and yummy! I made the hummus in my blender and it worked very well. Thanks Holly!
This recipe just did not workl. WAY too much lemon WAY too much tahini.
