SO DELICIOUS! I added a little more oil to make it smoother, and a touch more garlic as per my hubby's preference. Really great flavour!

a simple, straightforward recipe for yummy hummus! when i served it, i sprinkled paprika and toasted pine nuts on top. you can also drizzle a good extra-virgin olive oil over it. UPDATE: this recipe is so yummy — and super easy. i've always added oil or water to thin out the hummus, never the chick pea water ("reserve water" & this is by all means my now preferred method. thanks!

I like hummus so was pleased to find this recipe. If anything it is much nicer than the commercially made hummus. I found it very easy to make. I didn't put it in the processor, just mashed it up and added the other ingredients. It made a coarser texture but I wasn't using it as a spread or dip, I used it with salad as a main dish.
