I just made my first batch from scratch today. I just have one question...in order to get 2 cups cooked chick peas, how much dry do you have to cook? Thanks! I am a huge hummus fan too.

It's even lighter than light cream. "Half" cream and "half" milk is how it was explained to me. For ruth in # 12, yes, T is for tablespoon. It's usually TBS. Just like a tsp. would mean "teaspoon" then. Sorry to jump in and "help out", but I used to wonder these same things when I first started reading recipe by Americans.

A blender will do the same. You might have to scrap the ingredient sticking on the sides down now and then, but it's as good as a food procesor.

Could I get the same result if I just mashed the chickpeas? I think I'll try it and find out.... Thanks for the great recipe!

Any suggestions as to a modification of the recipe to exclude the tahini will be welcome. Thanks a lot Our family loves Hummus but our little granddaughter is allergic to sesame seeds.

I've never heard of cream added to hummus. Certainly the Greeks don't do it this way. The fashion is to include some whole chick peas on the top of he hummus and to use corriander to flavour it.
