Love the simplicity of this preparation, I always blend some parsley and lemon juice for the acidity factor, tends to lighten it up a bit more…Thank you, your blog is incredible!

I once had a horrible blind date with a guy from Israel. He was the most obnoxious person I’ve ever met. We found little to talk about, so I spent most of the three or more hours asking him questions about Israel. What he missed the most, he said, was hummus. “You can’t get good Hummus in the states.” I had no idea what he was talking about. I’d never head of hummus. A few years later I bought a Whole Foods Cookbook that contained a recipe for Hummus, which I made, and instantly fell in love with. Now I make it so often I can do it in my sleep. I use too much garlic though, for most peoples tastes. I always have breath mints around the house and in my backpack. When I met my current partner of 10 years he asked me, because of my garlic breath, to please refrain from eating hummus prior to meeting his parents. I now collect hummus recipes. My partner prefers my Black Bean version (heavy on the cumin), and I found a white bean recipe that uses shallots instead of garlic. But my favorite is traditional hummus (your website recipe). Lately I’ve been adding a tablesoon of curry powder and freshly ground pepper. I love hummus. I’m convinced it’s the food of the gods.

Wow, I stumbled onto your site by accident when looking for a Makhani Dhal recipe. I lived in Kuwait for 11 years and the best Hummus I ever tasted was at the Mais Al-Ghanim restaurant on the Gulf Road opposite the towers. My other memory was the best Adrak Kapangi (Ginger Chops) in the world at the Mogul Mahal. Ah such sweet memories.

I literally stumbled on your website today (via StumbleUpon) and have now bookmarked it for further attention. I’ve picked up a couple of recipes I want to try out soon. Interestingly, I bought a bottle of garam masala yesterday without any idea of what to do with it. Now I do. Hummus (and Baba Ganouj[sp?]) are two of my all time favorite foods. However, I prefer to eat them with torn off bits of warmed pita bread.

Hi Meena,

Oh, my… you have a recipe for humous! I love it. I’ll definitely try your recipe…

I’m addicted to this stuff. This will go well with my freshly baked bread.

I’m so pleased you came to visit my site, and even better, me finding your great site.

Thanks for linking me, by the way…
