By fresh it means good quality dried chickpeas soaked overnight. I have found that they then still need boiling to get soft. The recipe above does not have enough lemon (need 2) and no where near enough tahini (which is why most hummous you buy tastes of chickpeas and doesn't have that lovely smooth sesame flavour) need at least 7-8 ounces. The other vitally missing ingredient in this recipe is good old salt. Ideally you pound the salt and garlic together in pestle. When putting it in the food processor you will find that the tahini binds it and it is too thick, thin with warm water until you get the consistency you like.

if you don't have food processor, don't worry - just mash the chickpea with a fork.
it doesn't have to be smooth..
and I normally use more like 50ml of olive oil, not 1 spoon..
otherwise - fast easy tasty and healthy - enjoy
There is a loser who keeps changing the recipe to add 'urine' to the ingredients. Elementary school must be out today. Or maybe he missed then short bus this morning.
Place all the ingredients--except the olive oil and four individual garbanzo beans-- in a food processor and blend to your desired consistency. The taste will vary. If you want the hummus to be smoother it is up to you to add more lemon juice or water to reach your level of smoothness.

Pour hummus into a bowl. Add the four garbanzo beans in the middle of the bowl. Garnish with paprika (hot or mild). Add your best extra virgin olive oil on top.Serve with warm pita bread (whole wheat preferred).

Alisa, Hummus is great with vegetable sticks like carrots and celery. Less carbs that way, too!

Folks, I edited some of your contributions for consistency and added the tip about storing tahini upside down on the Tahini page.

for pierre....store the tahini in the refrigerator upside down. this makes it easier to mix when you need it. n

I tried eating hummus and I loved it! Can anyone suggest other ingredients or food that would go well with this? Thanks!

Real hummus is not made from canned hummus..
I am an Israeli and ate many kinds of hummus - canned hummus is terrible
