I do believe this is the most fantastic hummus I've ever tasted! I used less tahini than called for, though I'm not sure how much. I used whatever was left in my jar, but it didn't look like a full 1/2 cup left. I like a little less tahini in mine anyway, so it all worked out. I also roasted a head of garlic like some others and used that because I love garlic. I added quite a bit of bean juice because I like my hummus very smooth, and whipped it all up in my blender. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent. I also used Mock Tahini (threw in 1/2 cup of toasted seseme seeds with 1 TBSP of seseme oil). I added Sundried Tomato to this as well. Very tasty...

This is so good! I halved the recipe with no problems, but left the amount of garlic the same (personal preference). I also added extra lemon juice and garbanzo liquid to make it extra smooth. I had this with pita bread and tomatoes for a tasty lunch. And there is tons left over! Thanks Charishma! This is my recipe from now on!
