I am rating this recipe based on how it is written. First of all, 6 cloves of garlic to ONE regular-sized can of chickpeas? No. I used 3 cloves and it was too much. (I had never made hummus before until this recipe).Reply

I just have to say I've never tried hummus before, but now I know what all the fuss is about. Even my picky DH ate this. Well I made him taste it before I told him what was in it :) But he ate it willingly after the fact too. I made it just as stated, except I did not use mint. I used parsley cause that is what I had. I also only used 2 T of olive oil. The recipe doesn't state to, but I put all the ingredients in my food processor and blended till smooth. It was perfect.Reply
