    Yeah...you can do that....or try this one, its a white bean dip , no tahini so it saves you some calories. I've made it with both raw and roasted garlic, its good either way. Creamier than Hummus for people who have a problem with texture...especially if you are making your own. Its sometimes hard to get teh garbonzo beans really smooth with out using more olive oil than i'd like. but its easy with the white beans

    (Its ellie Kreiger, food network)


    * 2 (14-ounce) cans white beans, rinsed and drained (great northern or Canellini "white kidney beans" are even better)
    * 2 tablespoons roasted garlic (or two cloves raw garlic, minced)
    * 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    * 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
    * Salt and pepper
    * 1/4 cup parsley leaves, to garnish

    In a food processor, combine the beans, roasted garlic, olive oil and lemon juice and process until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves and serve with your favorite vegetables.

    Its raining here, and I am kind of tired of the rain, but then I thought of this thread and I said to mysef, "I know, I will have summ hummus that will make the rain go away, or at least not matter." And sure enough! I think the rain is easing up!

    You all got me wanting hummus so bad that I went and bought some Sabra roasted garlic hummus then I had to make some! I made it in the blender instead of using the food processor and it came out so much more creamy! I used some of the bean liquid to get it to blend better and after refrigerating, it was not so runny...it was awesome! The only down side is that I have been dipping veggies in it and now feel bloated:sick: ...guess i need some Beano...:laugh:
    Anyone else have that problem? Or remedies for it?

    I went to Fresh Market and bought fresh plain hummus. I put it in a small bowl and added garlic powder and chili powder to it YUMMY!!!!!!! I think I will try experimenting with different spices and see what happens.

    OMG! What a great idea. I know someone said they liked a cumin hummus...but I haven't been able to find one. I could just buy plain (or even make my own) and add different spices to it!

    I love cilantro too but wonder how it would taste in hummus! Hmmm!

    Never thought about cumin, will have to give that one a try. I say go for the cilantro. I just put about 2 oz in a cup and mixed the spices in. If you don't like it, you haven't wasted much.

    I was so interested in the chipotle flavor someone mentioned, I took plain hummus and added to it to "flavor" it.

    I mixed 3 TBSP of hummus, 1TBSP of BBQ sauce, a few shakes of Tabasco, and a two drops of liquid smoke.

    SOOOOOOOOOO good. IDK if it is "chipotle", but it has a zesty, smoky, BBQ-y flavor that I :heart: :heart: :heart:

    OK. I never bought plain cause I wanted the flavors, and now I know I can make my own flavors...

    Creativity....ACTIVATE!

    It's funny. I always have at least 3 containers of it bc I do not want to run out! The sabra brand comes in pretty small containers though. except at costco-they have the big tubs but only in chipotle flavor. I just want classic!!!!

    I was running a bunch of errands today and realized I hadn't eaten in quite a while and I was feeling a little weak and faint. And I thought to myself, "Oh, if only I had sum hummus and a couple of Kash crackers to tide me over!"
