This is an excellent recipe! I doubled this recipe with the only substitution being using dried cilantro instead of fresh. Fresh is always better and will make sure to have some available the next time I plan to make this recipe. We are new to hummus, but certainly picked a winner recipe for our introduction! Thanks so much for sharing!

I made this a while ago, but totally forgot to review it! It was so yummy! I didn't have any tahini, nor did I have time to go get any since I needed something very quickly to take to a church carry in, I also didn't have any Cilantro, so I left them out. It was so good, even without these two ingredients. I think I added extra garlic too, because we love garlic in our house. I served it with pita bread, but when all of the pitas were gone, I used the remaining hummus as a spread on a sandwich made with chicken lunch meat on some homemade garlic naan bread. Talk about delicious!I will make this again.

I made this for a family gathering, and it was completely gone! Great with veggies or chips. I used Goya black bean soup instead of the plain black beans for a little more flavor. Definitely a make again!

This is a nice variation on hummus, and I like the addition of ginger. As a matter of fact, I added half again as much ginger and cumin. I also followed a suggestion by a previous reviewer and add some of the bean liquid, as mine was very thick. Served with pita chips. Made for Fall 2008 PAC.
