I actually did make this and I agree with amyr1234, waaay to much tahini. I put about half as much as the recipe called for and it still came out too nutty tasting. I also agree that 3/4 cup water is too much. I doubled the recipe and only used 1/2 cup of water so I would suggest starting with less and adding more to taste. Other than that, a good basic recipe for simple hummus.

This came out way too watery. The flavor was good but next time I will leave out the water.

One trick to a good hummus is to boil the chickpeas prior and take off the husk. This takes a lot of the "pastiness" out of it. Time consuming but worth the effort. I too cut the lemon juice a little and only put in a half a cup of water and the texture was not bad. I agree that there is too much tahini, but actually a TOUCH of sesame oil cut the bitterness of the Tahini and made things better. I also doubled the garlic (personal preference, you can never have too much. Agree that a good quality olive oil is a must as well.

I hate to do this since I haven't even made this recipe. However, I'm from the Middle East and I can't imagine making Hummus this way. Waaaay too much Tahina, you only need a tablespoon or 2. Also, I never, add water. If I need a little (key word is little liquid I add the liquid from the garbonzo beans. Hummus is a wonderful healthy dish if made right. Try dipping fresh broccoli, carrots or zucchini sticks to make it even healthie

I think this recipe was great although i had a few alterations to it. I did not have as much lemon as the recipe called for, I only had 3 tablespoons, but it came out delicious. Also, there was too much tahini so I just added about a 1/4 cup more chick peas. This recipe was delicious!

I'll go right out and say it, I made this recipe exactly and it was the most terrible thing I put in my mouth. It had the consistency of paste and was way too watery. But I think the real kicker is WAAAAAAAYYY too much tahini. The recipe I literally just made called for a tablespoon and a half.

Taste and texture were not there. I believe that based on the other hummus recipes listed on foodnetwork that the amount of water listed is greatly over-stated.

I thought this hummus was great.

After reading the other reviews, I started out by using only a quarter-cup of water, and found that I did not need to add any more. I drained the can of chickpeas before adding them to the mixture.

A good-quality olive oil makes a big difference.

Way too much water! I followed the recipe just like it says. It came out very soupy and nothing like hummus. Very disappointing...
