Whizz up a can of chickpeas and garlic in the food processor, add a tablespoon of tahini, a tiny bit of oil, and whizz again. Then I add sweet chilli sauce0

I make a basic hummus with a can of chickpeas, garlic, parsley, cumin and lemon juice. My favourite things to add are some feta (the kind in oil and herbs) or sundried tomatoes. I had to stop making the one with sundried tomatoes cause I would just eat the whole batch in one day!0

Highly recommend not using canned chickpeas. Start with dried peas and let them soak overnight, in the morning set up a crockpot and let them cook all day. With a one pound bag of peas I'll only use 2 tablespoons olive oil and the cooking liquid to get the desired consistency. BTW use peanut butter or couple dashes of sesame seed oil to get that nutty flavor. As for flavor enhancers be creative.0

Prepare how you normally would and add a roasted red pepper and caramelized garlic.0

I like it very simple and traditional, not too thick, and blended VERY smooth with LOTS of extra fresh lemon juice. Some amazing extra virgin olive oil drizzled on top. Hot sauce and cilantro are good additions, but I hate it with cumin. I'm gluten-free so I usually just eat it with red pepper and cucumber slices.
The Trader Joe's varieties have added sugar, which creeps me out...0 -

The downside to cooking the dry beans is dealing with the hulls (clear outer casing). If you put the cooked beans in water the hulls come to the top and you skim them off. You can blend the chick peas with the hulls still on, probably more fiber. If you remove the hulls the finished hummus has a smooth texture. The beans in the can are clean - the hulls have been removed by a machine.0 -
Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus. Your basic Hummus recipe (any of the ones given on the other responses) roast your bell pepper in the oven by wrapping in foil and letting it sit in the oven for a few minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool a bit. Rub the skin off with a napkin being very careful, as it is still hot. Chop and puree and mix in the already aforementioned hummus. It's delicious. And if you like basil, try a sun dried tomato and basil.0

Adding a roasted sweet potato makes the most divine hummus! I like it with curry powder too.0

Roast a head of garlic and squeeze the "innards" from the cloves into any basic hummus recipe. So Good!0
