But I am happy it did.<br /><br />Any other tips for fat-free hummus beside cumin?

I just kept adding less and less tahini until we got to fat free. You may want to try that if you want to reduce the fat in your hummus.<br /><br />Food made by others always tastes better. At least this is my husband's theory. It is his excuse to stay out of the kitchen. ;) He doesn't venture in there as often as you do.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-14364446214580698182010-01-20T10:09:02.120-05:002010-01-20T10:09:02.120-05:00I love hummus, but I tried making it without tahin...I love hummus, but I tried making it without tahini and it came just ok. I'll try this recipe and see how it goes. Normally I put in about 2 tablespoons of tahini per cup of chickpeas (this is a rough estimate from the top of my head) and little to no olive oil. I don't like how creamy commercial hummus is anyway.<br /><br />It's funny that I like my wife's hummus more than my own and she likes mine more than hers.Doc Dufesnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418602994963537265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-48366042529445179962010-01-20T09:17:50.598-05:002010-01-20T09:17:50.598-05:00Laura,

I have been making mine with little or no added fat for about a year now. When we have commercial or restaurant hummus now it tastes too fatty to both of us. It is amazing to me how quickly our taste buds adapted to no oil added recipes.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-75059941655410665442010-01-20T08:20:53.732-05:002010-01-20T08:20:53.732-05:00So nice to see a hummus recipe that isn't drow...So nice to see a hummus recipe that isn't drowning in olive oil!

My hubby also likes to use this hummus with carrots sticks, celery or cucumber slices to dip into it. If you get tired of chewing the veggies toss them into a blender. That works too.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-46993820996449751032010-01-19T22:24:27.086-05:002010-01-19T22:24:27.086-05:00Oooooohhh, this post helps me A LOT, Alicia, since...Oooooohhh, this post helps me A LOT, Alicia, since it's hard for me to eat as much salad as E2L recommends.
