Who makes hummus with canned chickpeas? It's an abomination. A little more trouble to soak dried garbanzos cook and make your recipe accordingly yields a much better result.

@lovenow an abomination? I love it when I have the time to soak and prep the beans and try to when ever I can.

hi,what did you added after yogourt?i couldnt understand...please give me reply.thanks

[RecipeCook]

@dreamerbabe1213 It's a spice called Cumin. You can find it in any grocery store and it adds a great flavor to hummus. It's one of the main ingredients in Curry powder and used in many Mediterranean, Mexican and Asian dishes.

Has anybody made this with cilantro and/or roasted red peppers?

It was interesting because I made hummus today and when I went to get the lemons, they were accidentally frozen. Now, isn't the freezing process kill all the good vitamins like vitamin C?
