    Tribe Hummus is so much better than Athenos, I think....especially in the garlic flavor! Thanks for the recipe, too. I'm trying to up my chickpea intake.

    I have to make it from scratch twice a week because my whole family is addicted. My husband and kids would finish the little jar from Trader Joe's in an afternoon. My son takes it to school in a Ziploc for dipping his celery so he goes through alot.

    My recipe:

    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans, drained
    1/3 cup tahini paste (ground sesame seeds)
    1/3 cup lemon juice
    1/2 cup roasted red peppers (buy in jar or roast)
    1/4 teaspoon dried basil

    Mix all in food processor until smooth. I swap the red peppers for tomato and basil to mix things up. Hopes this helps keep your addition flourishing!

    I have substituted 1 tsp soy sauce (reduced sodium) for the tahini paste and I can't tell the difference..I make it all the time as well, I loved dipping all colored peppers in it!:love:

    I saw it at Wal-Mart too! I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds good. I might get that flavor next time!

    This is so great!! Just think of all the substitute additions that could be made for individual tastes!! THANKS!!

    When you put the beans in do you drain the can or leave the liquid in please because mine was really dry.

    Thank you Thank you Thank you! My husband and I are in a budget crunch, and I haven't had money for hummus, but I've been looking for a decent recipe. Now I have one! :wink:

    and you an sub the roasted red peppers with just about anything. I make it with jalepenos, or pine nuts, or fresh basil....oh yeah.;..roasted eggplant.......mmmmmmm I am sick today but the hummus in the fridge may be my saving grace

    When you drain the beans save the liquid then add it back after you've processed it so you can get the consistency you want. Do this after you've added lemon juice and seasonings.

    I am completely addicted to hummus too. I often use it as a sandwich spread to increase my protein intake! I've also combined it with plain non-fat greek yogurt for sandwiches and dips just for variety.

    I can't help either, because I'm sitting here eating it with my veggies...and spread some on my sandwich too! I have the Tribe Spicy Chipotle this time, but might have to switch it up after seeing some of these other ones y'all listed!

    Sorry; I'm a total hummus pusher. I'm partial to Sabra garlic hummus with Triscuit crackers. :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

    Exactly what I have packed for my afternoon snack today! Yum! :laugh:

    One of my favorite greek resturants comes to your table with a mortar and pestle filled with chick peas, a big scoop of chopped garlic and a few other ingredients. They make the hummus right at your table and boy, is it good! If I wasn't out in public, I would probably just grab a spoon and start eating.

    I put the beans in then add the liquid while blending to get the the right consistency. Sometimes I need it thick if I know I am using most of the batch for for wraps.

    The best I've tasted is at a Mediterranean restaurant near me, called Fadi's...next best was Whole Foods' "Out to Lunch" just regular hummus. SO tasty. I could spoon it out and eat it by itself!! I tried making my own and it wasn't that great... my favorite "flavor" would have to be roasted red pepper - I'm partial to the Sabra myself!
