Ingredients

1 loaf sesame semolina or crusty baguette, bakery sliced
1 (15 to 18-ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained

2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
3 sprigs rosemary, leaves finely chopped
1 lemon
Salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Optional garnishes:

Coarsely chopped green or black olives
Chopped parsley and basil leaves

Place the beans in food processor with tahini, garlic, rosemary, the juice of 1 lemon and some salt. Turn processor on and stream in a little olive oil, process until smooth, adjust salt and transfer to a small serving bowl, garnish with toppings if you wish (on its own it is still delish), surround the hummus with toasts for spreading.

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was the best hummus we've had! I added a bit of EVOO to the top before serving and a pinch of cayenne to give it some... heat. Was very very good!Read more

This Hummus was sooooo delish!!! So Simple and so healthy. I will definitely make it again and again. It was my first time... making my own and liked it better than the store bought or even the ones i've gotten in restaurants. Read more

What a difference a bean makes!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We love hummus around this house and I was intrigued when I caught Rachel making a variation of it on her show. With the 4th... of July just around the corner and plenty of fresh rosemary growing out my back door, I was inspired to give it a try. Man, am I glad I did. The 2 cloves of garlic are just right if you are a garlic lover. We added lemon zest and juice. We ate with Stacy's Pita Chips and pretzels rather than baguette. It is in the rotation and I'll try some of the optional suggestions next time. Thumbs up on this one.Read more

Simple and delicious!

I love traditional hummus, so I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about italian hummus. My guests and I loved it! It's a... great appetizer for an italian meal. I served with toasted baguette and sliced cucumber (for those watching carbs). Both were excellent with this dip. Definitely add the lemon zest. Thanks!Read more

Easy and delicious!!! A nice change-up
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was extremely easy and a great way to change the basic hummus recipe. I used one large garlic clove which was plenty... for this amount. I'll definitely re-use this one for company. Read more
