Yum with some spice needed!
This is a great base recipe! For those who like a mild hummus, it's perfect. I love a little heat and spice in my hummus - so I added some jalapeno slices and juice from that jar (fresh would be even better, but I didn't have it!). After making, I topped with a bit of olive oil and a dollop of fresh chili sauce - made it look beautiful (just like store bought!) and the extra heat was very nice.

Nothing added (but a little mesquite smoke)
Made this recipe exactly as published with the exception of using fresh garbanzo beans instead of canned and I grilled the red peppers and garlic over mesquite coals. AWESOME!!

The best roasted red pepper hummus ever
I was surprised and how epic this was! I left out the oil, cumin and black pepper and added about 8 jalapeno rings and a generous pinch of cayenne pepper. The creamiest, most delicious hummus ever. But I would like to state I do not like having to post my gender and age on your site. There is no reason why you must have this information.

Uses pantry ingredients, good fast tasty healthy!
This took a few minutes to put together. I added extra hot sauce to taste, and when I weighed the chickpeas it came to 1 1/2 cans drained. I would just add both cans next time. I would hold back some of the water however, this way you can regulate the consistency. I had roasted garlic, so I added more garlic than was called for since it is sweeter. I have roasted sesame seeds but I also have tahini paste, which is ground sesame seeds; so in place of the sesame seeds, I added 1/4 cup of tahini paste instead. Hummus is a blank slate. You can add a few personal touches here and there as I did. When you serve it, drizzle some EVOO and a sprinkle of smoked paprika on top. BTW, this makes a lot, so invite the neighbors in.

Easier than expected..
Never realized how easy it is to make homemade hummus until trying this recipe. I'll never go back to processed hummus.
