Yummy Hummus

This post is way off-topic, but I wanted to record it for future reference and easy searching.

I make hummus on occasion and, like most of my cooking, I never really follow a recipe. So when I do make a batch, it's pretty much based on what I have on hand and however inspiration hits me. This means it's never the same twice. Which is good for variety, but poor for repeatability. Tonight I made some that I think is my favorite so far. Thus, in order to reproduce it in the future, here's what I did.

2 15.5 cans (drained) garbanzo beans (a.k.a. chickpeas)
Scant 1/4 cup of liquid from beans
Scant 1/4 cup olive oil
1/8 cup lemon juice
1/8 cup Bragg's Amino Acids
1/2 t. or so of ground ginger
1/4 t. or so of ground mustard
1/4 t. or so of ground turmeric
Dash of cayenne pepper
5-6 cloves of fresh garlic
2 clementine oranges (minus a couple sections for the chef)

Combine and blend until smooth. Enjoy.

    I make hummus pretty frequently. This recipe looks SO YUMMY with all those flavors: ginger, orange, mustard! I will definitely try it.

    Because I eat low fat, I leave out the olive oil, and I notice your recipe has no tahini in it...I like hummus better with tahini than without *slurp* but your recipe looks too good not to try it. :)

Comments are welcome but I do moderate them. This is simply to keep things wholesome for general family viewing. By default, comments will be accepted. The few things that will cause a comment to be rejected are:

1. It is too long even though it may be well-written and make interesting points. It's supposed to be a comment, not an essay. If you have that much to say, write a blog article and backlink to me.

2. It is nasty, impolite or uses language that is unacceptable.

3. It includes a a link that has a typo or is broken in some other way.

4. It should have been sent as an e-mail since it is clearly addressed to me and does not appear to have been intended for other readers.

5. It is blatantly self-promotional. This does not mean it can't be self-promotional at all, but it should add some value over and above the marketing.
