Great flavors. I loved the cumin and the bit of a zing from the cayenne. I still got a few lumps from chickpeas that just would not be ground up, but I think that is just the design of my blender; it was still quite smooth and fluffy. -
This is the first time I've made hummus. Try putting into tuna for a tuna salad sandwish instead of mayonnaise. With it's high rate of calcium and good fibre, hummus is a excellent food choice. -
Of all the variations on Hummus, this one has just the right blend of flavors I'm looking for. Great and simple recipe!
