Great hummus! I added about 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt to thin the texture a bit, but otherwise followed the recipe faithfully. Great flavor--we all loved it1

This hummus was delicious, but the texture was way too thick for my tastes. I don't have a food processor and it nearly killed the motor in my blender. This might be because I boiled the chickpeas myself instead of getting them canned. I added about two cups of "broth" from the chickpeas to the mixture and it came out spectacularly. I think I might add less salt next time, though. Thanks for the recipe!

I make "choo-moose" all the time, but have been pronouncing it all wrong!! Never again. Your recipe, Miraklegirl tastes more authentic than the version I have been serving. I love the consistency of yours, smooth and creamy. I did add several pinches of cayenne because my DH loves it hot, but he did comment on how much better he liked your recipe than the one I've been making. Thanks for upgrading one of our favorites.
