Ultimately a lovely dish however I agree with others that as written this recipe calls for far too much garlic. I ended up having to add in quite a bit of extra tahini to balance out the flavors. (And I love garlic.I also found it necessary to drizzle in considerably more olive oil to thin it out to a workable consistency. In the end it was delicious though. I made the toasted pita triangles - very easy and really tasty. With just a few changes this recipe is definitely a keeper.

Delicious. Warning though, 3-4 cloves of garlic was wayyyyy too much for me. Tried it with one large clove and it was still a little too much. So I would add the cloves one at a time, tasting each time to see if you like it. I didn't have tahini, so I used 1/2 teaspoon of dark asian sesame seed oil, wich I bought to make another hummus recipe wich was delicious as well. That recipe is almost the same as this one, exept it doesn't use tahini. It uses the sesame seed oil instead That worked just fine. I used half the cumin the recipe called for. But that's just my personal taste. And I also added some olive oil and a little water, as I like a more creamy consistency. It is delicious and very healthy.

Super easy and yummy! I didn't make the pita triangles - I served with flatbread and Stacy's mutilgrain pita chips. I also added a tablespoon of olive oil.
