    i love thick hummus, but this was even a bit thick for me, so i added diced roasted red peppers from the jar, added the liquid from the jar, and added extra extra virgin olive oil. It did that trick!!! delicious! i could not stop eating it.

    My partner and I enjoy hummus and didn't think I could make anything as good as the hummus from a local deli. This recipe made me a star in my home...easy and delicious. I added some roasted red peppers and a dash of Emeril essence to change it a bit and it rocked! Love love love!

    I found this to be very easy to prepare, and wonderfully spicy! The only problem I had was it was hard to get uniformly blended as it was pretty thick. I ended up adding juice from the other half of the lemon and more olive oil. Was terrific!

    Each time something gets tweeked. As a substitute for tahini paste, you can use creamy peanut butter, but you need to know if your guests have a peanut allergy.

    I will boil my chicpeas, drain and reserve the juices and add about a 1/4 cup of the juices to the food processor. The reserved juices make the hummus extra creamier.

    Good flavor, but I've made better hummus with other recipes. Additions of smoked paprika and/or roasted red peppers add a unique flavor.

    When I first mixed the hummus, it seemed a bit thick. I added about 2 TBS of water, and that corrected the texture.

    I changed the recipe, and substituted with ingredients I already had at my home. I used lime juice instead of lemon juice, mrs. dash lemon pepper instead of the cumin, and added cilantro. Didn't have any tahini paste, so left that out. Also, I didn't have any pita bread, but I did have flour tortillas. I heated up the tortillas, then cut into wedges to serve with my Mexican-Hummus dip. I love to use up what I left in my pantry, plus the bonus of coming up with a new recipe!

    I love to get hummus when my fiance and I go out to eat, but have never tried to make it myself. This recipe was FANTASTIC!! A couple exchanges... I used 1 tsp. of cayanne pepper instead of the crushed red pepper, and garlic powder instead of fresh(just ran out, I added a little more EVOO and lemon juice for a smoother/lighter consistency. It was truly amazing!! Love you Rachael!

    This was my first attempt at hummus. I LOVE hummus...and a really good hummus can be hard to find (I don't think any store bought brands are that great I came across this recipe and decided to give it a try. In the end it turned out okay...but it needed way more liquid than the recipe calls for. It initially came out as a thick paste...and I like mine to be much creamier. With extra lemon juice and olive oil it is better...but next time I try this I am taking others suggestions and putting chick pea water in. I added a lot of minced garlic which added to the flavor nicely.
