@ Alyssa – I’ve heard of that, but for the *ahem* gassier folks among us, it’s a dangerous prospect. The cooking liquid retains a lot of the gas-causing elements. So be careful! =D

Instead of using water or olive oil to thin it out, I save from liquid from the chick peas

@ Nathalie – Yes! You can totally sub other beans for garbanzos. Just make sure you cook them (as opposed to just soaking them). If you want it to have that distinctly hummus-y flavor, just sub 1:1 for chickpeas. If you want it to be more like a bean dip, leave out the tahini.

Let me know how it works for you!

I am making home made baked beans for dinner tonight and I still have half a big soup pot of left over soaked beans and I’m not sure what to do with them. They are a mix of navy and pinto beans.
Could I make a dip/hummus out of them? Your ideas sound out of this world and I bet they are just as delicious. I particularly like the roasted garlic one! YUM!

@ Anne – Thanks! And truly, it was my pleasure, HA!

@ Kelly – I do love the TJ’s white bean hummus (although FYI, the basil version is not vegan). I have a bunch of ideas for alternative bean-y type dips . . . probably posting in the near future. =)

@ Becks – The sun-dried tomato was, I think, my favorite version. Fresh basil was key! And I agree, naan is the bestest bread for hummus.

You weren’t the only person out in blog world to post a hummus entry! I took this to be a sign from the hummus heavens and made my own using your recipe! The best way (I think) to eat hummus is with fresh pita or naan. So I did! Thank you so much for posting your recipe and ideas. After I’m done my tupperware container, I’ll definitely try the sun-dried tomato hummus. De-lish!

Mmmm…Beautiful! Well done!
My new favorite is White Bean Hummus. TJs has a great version, but I’ve taken a liking to making my own from soaked white northern beans. De’lish. )
