Hummus recipe? Doesn't taste like restaurant?

Question by Philip N: Hummus recipe? Doesn't taste like restaurant?

Answer by markIn addition to the lemon, garlic tahini and chick peas, I also add water to get it to the right consistency. Add it slowly as you don't want to water it down. When I use 2 cans of chick peas, I will add as much as 1/3 cup water (or less as needed).

I tend to add less lemon juice than most recipes called for by about 1/3 less (just my preference).
