Turned out great. I read the reviews and cut down the recipe to 1 tablespoon of garlic, 1 lemon & 1/4 cup of tahini. I also needed to add a little evoo.

I used sambal as the hot sauce, and cut the garlic in half, but I didn't like what I created :-(

Another great Ina recipe! I gave it four stars because it was too much garlic for my taste.
The first time I made it, I followed the recipe exactly and the garlic flavor was overwhelming - so much so that I had to toss it. I just made it again and used the tip to boil the garlic first - I did that and only added one large clove and it's better this time. I also added about 6 canned artichoke hearts - you don't even notice the artichoke hearts are in it, but it gives it a nice flavor. I topped it with a drizzle of olive oil and toasted pine nuts - very good - so much better than store bought hummus. A drizzle of pesto instead of olive oil is good, too!

Tried a few recipes before settling on this one. I use two cloves of garlic (unless its a few days old, in which case I use 1-2 more and add 1/3 cup of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of cumin (from Bittman's recipe, which is also v good. I think the hot sauce is what elevates it - I use Frank's Red Hot. Dipping frenzy! Thanks Ina!

I LOVED this recipe. Like, seriously, LOVED it. It's easy, and you could adjust or add seasonings if you like. It's a great basic recipe. I like plain hummus (as opposed to red pepper flavor, etc. so that may be part of why I liked it.
You can never have too much lemon or garlic for me. I read the reviews that others left before I tried this recipe, and I am so glad I saw the comment about dropping the garlic cloves in boiling water for 30 seconds. I think that mellows that "raw" garlic taste quite a bit. Do try that! It had a great flavor that was only enhanced by a drizzle of good quality EVOO (that my friend brought to me from Italy! I baked some pitas and served them with this hummus....such a big hit in our family!

I've made this recipe several times and it definitely needs olive oil. I made it in my Vitamix blender and added the olive oil last so I would get the right texture. I read the other reviews of this recipe and I think it depends on the type of tahini that is used. I have found the more creamy tahinis are less potent. Hope that helps!

this recipe was easy, but the taste was just not quite right. I think it tastes too much like tahini. Maybe reducing the amount of tahini would be better. I also think it needs some olive oil because it was too dry.
