    One of the best recipes for hummus I've found. I usually leave the parsley out, because I don't usually have it on hand. I also sometimes use tahini instead of peanut butter, and I like to add a little bit of smoked paprika for extra flavor.

    This recipe has great flavour, without the cost of tahini (if you can even find it. I used the minimum amount of peanut butter suggested and I did not need all the olive oil. Will definitely use again!

    I started by making this recipe as-is. It tasted more like a peanut satay sauce than hummus. I then added a few TBL of tahini that I still had from my last hummus attempt, a bit more lemon, then several good shakes of hot sauce and finally about 1/4 C of roasted red peppers. This now resembles something hummus-like, but very mild and with a peanutty flavor. I wanted to try this recipe because tahini is sorta expensive and peanut butter is cheap and I tend to always have it on hand, but it's just not right without the tahini. If you aren't crazy about the strong flavors of hummus, you might want to give this one a try, though. My final result is good but I gave fewer stars to the recipe because of all of the tweaking I had to do. I don't understand people who give 5 stars for a recipe when they change half the ingredients and measurements, making it a totally different recipe. you're rating the recipe, not your final tweaked product.
