Mmmmmmm, yummy!! I reduced the tahini to about 1/3 cup and left the olive oil out completely. Also used a lot less red pepper~~though my hubby will spice it up on his! Just used the garbanzo liquid to get it smooth. Also used 5 cloves of roasted garlic and added lemon juice (probably 1/4 cup) and a bit of cumin. Delish! I think it will get tastier as it sits!

This recipe was very easy to follow and quick to make. I made it for a food day/competition at work. Needless to say I won and had many people compliment my dip. Some even said it was the best hummus they have tasted. I did add some fresh lemon juice but other than that stuck to the recipe as written. I also would like to mention I served it with locally grown and produced blue tortilla chips. Delicious!! Thanks for the recipe!!

Ummmmmmmm. I brought this for lunch today with pita and veggies. This dish might be the world's most perfect food, if you're a fan of hummus. The creaminess of the edamame and tahini, the slight courseness of the garbanzo beans and the fresh veggie essence combined with the slight bite of of the red pepper flakes just make me happy. I made this with dried (cooked)garbanzos, and substiuted some of the cooking liquid for some of the olive oil to conserve fat and calories as suggested in other reviews. If you're a pepper wuss like me, just use a couple of small shakes from the red pepper flake bottle. I wouldn't suggest omiting it entirely, as they really add a sense of balance to the dish. Now where's my lunch bag....?

I thought this was going to be good. I was wrong. It was great! Heh, I will use less garlic next time though :] I left out all the salt, and used about 2.5 teaspoons of red pepper flakes; I might use a little more than that next time. Whoa, now that I think back, I also left out olive oil and water.... UPDATE: Ok, I've made it a couple of times since I originally reviewed it. (Even though my first review was like, yesterday.) I personally like it best smashing it with a potato masher thing and a spoon and then mixing it together. Also, I really do not reccomend adding water, unless you don't like spicy/garlic-y food. Oh, and I use 5 cloves of garlic, and I'd probably reccomend someone who doesn't feel strongly about garlic to use 3 or 4 cloves. Thanks for this great, healthy recipe!
