So here it is, the obligatory hummus recipe. However, if you make this recipe you will be blown away. This is seriously the best traditional-type hummus recipe I have tried. I was a little skeptical because it seemed sort of unconventional (i.e., microwaving the chickpeas in their liquid?!), but it produces a wonderfully rich and creamy consistency that I have not seen in any other recipe. Usually, I play around with any recipe I find and alter them somewhat to accommodate my tastes and dietary needs, but this one is perfect how is it. Even though, I have added fresh herbs to it like cilantro for a slightly different twist, and the results were still spectacular. I guess the lesson is: there is always room for play!
