Gord's Hommus
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Try this...haven't experienced a naysayer yet... - 500ml of soaked chick peas (or 1 can of 456ml drained)--drain and toss in... food processor with- - some zest of a lime; some zest of a lemon; - juice of 1 lime/juice of 1 lemon (makes about 1/2 cup); - generous 1/2 cup of Tahini (sesame seed paste); - 1/3 cup olive oil; - season with 4-5 cloves of chopped garlic, 1 tsp each salt and pepper, 1 tbsp of Tobasco sauce, 1 tbsp Worstershire, 1/4 cup chopped parsley... - Blend until smooth--pour into pie-sized dish, sprinkle top heavily with Paprika, drizzle top with olive oil (also after finished eating to keep from drying and store in fridge) and garnish with bite size pieces of sliced dill pickle and black olives. Voila! Eat by scooping with rolled/coned pieces of pita bread. Bonne appetit! Read more

Wish I had read the other reviews before I made this!! The others are correct - way too much oil. I do believe there is a... typo. Will try it with less as recommended!! Read more

I hate The Penguin & everything they stand for. The rudest wait staff and management I've ever dealt with in my life. I... consider them Burger Nazis!Read more

LOVED IT AFTER TWEAKING
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this several times, and after changing to 1/3 cup of Olive Oil it's GREAT!!!!! Everytime I make this my whole... family inhales it...I have to hide my share. I just love HUMMUS, regardless, and if I could get to The Penguin, I'd have one of everything they serve....especially the friend pickles...Loved the show too. LauraRead more

PLEASE READ THIS!!!

I am doing some research for a Caribbean Cookbook and found this recipe. If you will use 3 tablespoons of sesame oil you... will take you where you are wanting to go.Read more

needs tweaking
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This recipe actually turned out to be a 5 star but only after tweaking. First, the 3 C of olive oil should be more like 1/3... C, if that. Many hummus recipes don't call for any at all but I think a small amount of good EVOO improves the mouth feel. Also, 3/4 or a tsps. of tahini is clearly wrong - probably more like 3 to 4 tsps. I bumped up the spices a little as well.Read more
