Hummus almost always has tahini (ground up sesame seeds) in it as well as chick peas!. It often has garlic and olive oil!. Here is my favorite hummus recipe:

Ingredients

* 4 garlic cloves, minced and then mashed
* 2 15-oz cans of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
* 2/3 cup of tahini (roasted, not raw)
* 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
* 1/2 cup water
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 1/2 teaspoon of salt
* Pine nuts (toasted) and parsley (chopped) for garnish

Method

1 In a food processor, combine the mashed garlic, garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, and olive oil!. Process until smooth!. Add salt, starting at a half a teaspoon, to taste!.

2 Spoon into serving dish and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley!.

Serve with crackers, raw dip vegetables such as carrots or celery, or with pita bread!. You can cut the pita bread into thin triangles, brush with olive oil and toast for 10 minutes in a 400°F oven to make pita chips with which to serve the hummus!.

Makes about 3 cups!.

Hummus is something you either love or you hate!. It sounds really good but I Hate it!! But then again i'm not a fan of chickpea's either which they didn't tell me that's what it was until after i tried it!. Nothing like almost throwing up on family members as they laugh at the face you make!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I object Good Fresh Homemade Hummus does not taste like paste!. It can be made with all kinds of different spices & veggies, not just plain!.!.!. I like mine spicy!.
Basically it's Bean Dip made with Chickpeas instead of Pinto Beans with different seasonings!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hummus is a great sauce of nutrients!. Hummis is made from Chic Peas!.
(Garbonzo) after you puree the chic peas, add a little olive oil, lemon juice and garlic
