Garbanzo Hummus (Greek Dip)

This is quite tasty indeed! I'd been looking for a recipe to use up a tin of garbanzos I'd opened a couple of days ago, and also found a reason to get out that tin of tahini in my fridge. I will definitely make this one again. Its fattening if over eaten, but very a very nutritious vegan recipe if enjoyed in moderation.

This is a great recipe...I just have one suggestion. I reserved the liquid from the cans of garbanzo beans and used that in the recipe instead of the water. This adds just a bit more thickness and flavor...also I used another clove of garlic just because we like it! It is tasty!

Hummus is an Arabic dish not a Greek one. We don't make it in Greece. It sounds delicious though, i'll give it a try.

I saved the liquid from the canned garbanzo beans and used it in place of the water. Also, 1/4 tsp. Cayenne is way too much. A pinch is more than sufficient. Also, I added more lemon juice and a bit more salt and 3 cloves garlic. A good, basic recipe but nothing special.
