My husband loved this so much he ate the first batch for lunch one day. Since then I have made it every weekend. I use dried garbonzo beans cooked in the pressure cooker - better flavor. I have also added red peppers which I liked better than my husband

This hummus is excellent! Do read the linked article. Cooking the canned chickpeas is the key to getting the smooth texture of authentic hummus. I could never get it that smooth before. I discovered this recipe about the same time I discovered a fresh pita bakery/mediterranian restaraunt/grocerey store where I bought the ingredients. I will never buy my hummus ingredients in the supermarket again! The second time I made this hummus was for a group of international students at the university, and they seemed to like it because it was eaten up in no time! On that batch I went to the trouble of picking the skins off of all those chickpeas in a double batch. I would probably never go to that length for a family snack, but it was so silky smooth. I spread it in a foil cake pan, swirled the top, drizzled it with olive oil, and "decorated" it with pinches of cumin and paprika. Delicious!

I made this today! I ended up using 2 cans of garbanzo beans, to get it right. The only issue I have is that the sesame paste gives it a very "peanut-butter" flavor-smell. Will be trying to add more lemon and salt to counter, but otherwise a very interesting recipe. Wife needs a couple of days tasting with carrot sticks to give her overall opinion (hummus freak).
