two things that improve the taste. one, buy dried chickpeas and soak them overnight yourself with a pinch of salt. two, when thinning out your hummus don't use regular water, use the excess water from the chickpeas.

Hi, I'm from Middle East and you did the exactly the traditional recipe for hummus. But we don't add the cumin powder with it and we add the plain yogurt instead of water and we will add in the top some Sumac powder. We have hummus as a aside with grilled chicken, meat , fish and shrimp and we add it to the sandwich. Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe.

My first try at hummus and it turned out exactly as I had hoped. Super smooth and delicious with some garlic naan straight out of the oven. Great recipe.

I just made this and the hummus came out delicious! I roasted some squash, red bell peppers and mushrooms and toasted some bread, spread some hummus and voilá, amazing sandwich, simple but delicious!

I've been making my hummus this way for years. I always get great reviews. I'm glad someone finally put the technique on YouTube. It's the best!!!!

This is hands down the BEST hummus recipe. Starting with the tahini and lemon made all the difference. Thankyou.

I have been meaning to write and let you know that I made your recipe for my coworkers and it was a HUGE hit. I made some homemade pita chips to dip with it and it seriously turned out perfect. I am going to be making this for my family this weekend as a pre dinner treat before Canadian Thanksgiving! Thank you!

This is how I make hummus, too and it turns out AMAZING! I use about double the tahini. Hummus is so good for you! It's a super food! Thanks for this video!

I just want to say I made this for the first time last August. I have been making this over and over again since. It really is very good 😊

doing it in batches is the key...I think that's what I haven't been doing...I'll give this a try for sure

Made this today for my father and two brothers. We are Lebanese and usually my mom makes us her authentic Lebanese hummus, she's out of town so I thought I would give this recipe a shot...All three men and I LOVED it! My dad said it was better than the one my mom makes! Definitely keeping this recipe in my arsenal. ;) Thank you for sharing!
