Notes
This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of hummus.Adjust Creaminess: Slowly add the oil while ingredients are blending. Once you have added all of the oil, if you want it creamier, you can add some water a tablespoon at a time, or more oil. Substitutes:Tahini: If you don't have any tahini, you can substitute 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to add the sesame flavor. Garlic: Substitute 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder for 2 garlic cloves.Oil: Use vegetable or canola in place of extra virgin olive oil - although olive oil adds the best flavor for an authentic hummus.
