    My dad always made hummus when I was a kid (he's from the Middle East) and now I make it on a regular basis. We don't use cumin at all, the flavor is just too strong. Salt, garlic, plain yogurt, lemon juice, some olive oil/water to thin, tahini, and drained garbanzo beans. Great video though. Very easy stuff to make.

    It's 20 to 1 in the morning, the first day back to work after the Christmas holidays, I have to work at 6am and thanks to this video I'm making hummus now.
  • @rubym3385
    Out of boredom, I added corn and black beans to this recipe and it was super good!
  • Just made it, wife loves it, tastes like what you would get in a good middle eastern restaurant. Won’t be buying store bought anymore, thank you for the vid.
  • @nataliemonica
    This recipe works so well even for an amateur like me! Really well explained, I didn’t need to modify the recipe in any way and the hummus tasted so delicious 🤤 (not too salty, just a nice balance of savoury and freshness from the lemon)
  • @healingsun5654
    I made this humous today & OMG....it is SO DELICIOUS! I've been making humous for years usually following the same recipe, but never got the creaminess this recipe gives & it's all due to processing the tahini + lemon juice first. That is the key. Thank you Inspired Taste. This recipe now replaces my old one.
  • @cynthias862
    Inspired taste, I just made the Hummus and it was easy and delicious. You gave great instructions and demonstration. I did not know it was this easy. This was my first and definitely not my last time making Hummus. The only thing I did was add a little more salt and a hot pepper. Thank you very much.
  • Simply amazing. I tried it for the first time today and it was delicious.
  • Love it! I just made homemade hummus for the first time and I may never go back to store bought. It has the super smooth texture I was looking for....
  • @elonaroshi3480
    I just made this hummus and its was delicious, I'm not buying store bought anymore. Thanks for sharing this recipe :)
  • @maishaislam726
    I followed the recipe as accurately as possible and it was SOOOOO GOOD! It was much better than store bought and was so easy to make too. Now i feel dumb for even buying hummus from the store. Thanks for this recipe. 😊

    Got my first food processor and wanted to try my hand at making some hummus. Luckily I found YOUR recipe, because it's absolutely amazing! We buy tubs of Sabra now and then just to have in the fridge. My mother is also a hummus fan. I made my first batch following your recipe (including using my own tahini which I also made from your recipe) and my wife loved it, so I made another batch and took it to my mom. She raved about it! In fact, a few weeks later she said she caught herself wanting to eat it with a spoon. She also said that after her and my dad had finished the batch I made, they bought a tub of hummus from the store, and it just didn't cut it anymore. Mine was better. I've also started adding some cayenne (just a few good shakes) and some red pepper flakes (around a half teaspoon) to some batches, for spicy hummus. You have to watch it because you CAN make it too spicy, but a little spice is nice... sometimes. Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I'm not the hummus king, supplying tubs of tasty, pasty goodness to my mom, my sister and our friends. Best hummus ever, and actually quite easy to make.
  • THANK YOU! BEST HUMMUS I’VE MADE EVER! 🥰
  • @amberw.7604
    I love how your videos get straight to the point with no story telling and use basic ingredients. ❤️
  • @LadyMaltese
    This is THE BEST hummus recipe. EVER. I watch a few cooking shows and their chefs keep drizzling in more and more olive oil. That makes hummus so slimy and oily. Hummus only needs the bit you suggest and the water makes it better. On a side note, have you seen the hummus recipes that add avocado? I'd love to see how you test the chick pea and avocado blend. Probably would need some lemon/lime to prevent avocado browning.
  • Thank you so much for posting this video! I am definitely making this today!!! I love hummus, and I am excited that now, I won't have to spend as much at the store to have it! YaY!!!
  • @TheMuzzy6
    Thank you SO much. I’ve tried for some long to make good homemade houmus and haven’t been successful. This is everything I’ve dreamed of AND more! It’s tastes so yummy snd creamy- even better than shop bought. Thank you 🙏
  • @windowbreezes
    peeling chickpeas or any kind of vegetables with your kids is a moment you'll never forget. it's such a great bonding experience.
  • Absolutely LOVED your recipe! Yum. I only needed 1 Tbsp of water to get the creamy consistancy I wanted. I might use just a little bit less of the cumin next time as well, but this was absolutely the BEST hummus I've ever tasted. Removing the shells from the garbanzo beans was well worth it. Thanks!
  • @soundseeker63
    I don't know why I've never tried making it myself before but I'm glad I did! It tastes so much more "alive" and fresh than store bought, plus it works out a lot cheaper too. I am officially converted! Yummy 😍
