This was also a hit at my super bowl party. I have to admit though, I was too cheap to spring for the tahini. I don’t use it alot, so I couldn’t justify spending the money. SO, instead I used Naturally More peanut butter. Not a whole lot, but it worked brilliantly. All my snouts insisted that it was good stuff and still had nice kick. So if you’re in a pinch – turn to the peanut. 😀
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am going to try that!
made this hummus tonight and had one big problem with it… it was WAY too good! i couldn’t stop eating it!! yummy!
Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it.
I made this last night and it certainly brought out the piggy in me! Yummmmmm! Thank you for helping me rediscover chickpeas 🙂
Love it!
“Easy 5 MInute Hummus” is very easy as recipe. Occasionally I make this quick y recipe to receive my friends. Last night it was fantastic! Oh :)(:
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Yes. There are some other flavours under the dips section of the recipe search feature. Enjoy 🙂
Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it!
Add Sriracha, you won’t regret it!
Awesome tip! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Do you have the nutritional breakdown for this? I made it and loved it but want to know calories and fat in a serving. Thanks for the recipie
Sorry Sean, I don’t have nutritional stats for the recipes on the site at the moment. I will add them gradually over the course of this year, as I get asked so often. Until then, please plug the recipe into third party software like nutrition data.
I haven’t tried this yet (but I’m GOING TO!) – I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the ‘underwhelming’ recommendataion!
LOL! I know. I read that now, and go, “Why did I write that?!”
Can’t find tahini in Costa Rica so I use spicy sesame oil. Have also put in fresh cilantro and/or black olives. Anything goes folks. Get imaginative. Pura Vida
Love your tweaks! Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to trying this. Thank you
Enjoy! This is a good little staple.
I just made this according to the measurements and it turned out so disgusting. I even added more garlic and olive oil and it was still gross. I’m not sure what went wrong but I know that I followed the directions to a T.
I’m so sorry this didn’t turn out for you. I will check the recipe this week. Thanks for the feedback.
Followed the recipe exactly and it was amazing! Quick and delicious as described. Your description is way too humble, this hummus is outstanding (my wife agrees). Thanks for sharing this treasure.
Thank you for your lovely comment. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Needed something tasty for my bread instead of jam or honey as we’re on a sugar free/dairy free diet and this was perfect. Super creamy although I did add an extra garlic clove. Divine.
