Creamy Hummus

I will make this again, but will cut the garlic more than I already did (and we love garlic!). I used 4-5 cloves and cooked them a little with skins on in a skillet, and that was still too garlicky. Next time I will try 3 cloves semi-cooked. It makes a lot, so I put some in the freezer -- am eager to see how it comes out.

the only hummus recipe i use!!! cut down to 4 garlic cloves. it's better if i chop the garlic before putting in my processor. my daughter even loves this one !!!!! i just eat it with a spoon sometimes !!!!

My go to recipe for hummus - good, quick and easy. I've tried a couple others and didn't like them. Great basic recipe for playing with. I usually double the garlic and often cook the garlic in the olive oil (30-40 min) in the toaster oven. I have also added roasted peppers, cilantro, 5-spice powder, and dip mixes that usually are hydrated with mayo, yogurt, or sour cream. Not sure if 3 is enough but I hesitate to go higher since my neighbors recipe best this one, but since he won't tell me what he does I use this one reagularly.

I love this recipe. I usually make half, and reduce the garlic.

This hummus is so delicious, and relatively easy to make, too. Comes out much creamier than other home hummus recipes I've tried. Always impresses!

I just whipped this up in no time flat in my mini food processor. I only had 1 15oz can of garbanzo beans so I had to half the recipe. I decreased the water to 1/3 cup but kept the rest of the ingredient measurements the same. I also used jarred minced garlic to taste. All I can say is that this is FABULOUS and I don't think I will ever buy hummus again. Thanks for a great recipe CL!

Yummy! The amount of garlic was great.

Maybe the perfect hummus recipe. I too am a garlic lover. The first time I made it, I used two cloves of garlic and didn't think it was enough. Today I used four - oof! Next time I'll use three. The great thing about this basic recipe is that you can add different things to it. I put in some basil from the garden. Delicious.

Fabulous! Creamy & flavorful! To suit our taste, I did reduce the amt. of garlic to 4 cloves and as others suggested used some of the liquid from the cans instead of just water. Yummy!

Love this recipe. I modify by substituting juice from the canned chickpeas for the water, and add slowly while processing to obtain desired consistency. Substitute red pepper for black. If desired, add a small jar of roasted red peppers. Also optional, serve w/ pooled olive oil and sprinkled with feta.

Tasted great, and super easy to make. Just pour it all in the food processor! Very garlicy at first, but over time it mellowed. Ate it with carrot stick and pita chips. Yum!

Wow! This hummus is quite delicious! I followed the recipe as written. Loved the garlic!

Yummmy! I added a tiny bit more water to make it a little creamier. I used pretty good sized cloves of garlic, next time I'll use less. Quick, easy and SO much better than store bought and very inexpensive to make. I use it as a dip for raw veggies. I'm sure I'll have the recipe memorized soon. This will be a staple in my kitchen!

This was my first hummus that I have ever made and my husband and I thought it turned out great. Definitely make half the recipe if you just want a snack because it makes a lot. There is a little bit of a kick to it so I need to play around with the recipe to perfect it. Will definitely try again!
