I don't like to cook, have never roasted a pepper, and am not really a fan of any kind of beans other than baked beans. BUT, because I never get enough fiber in my day and this recipe looked interesting, I thought I'd try it. IT IS AMAZING! Even my husband liked it and he won't eat hummus at all! - 3/15/15

I love hummus but don't often purchase tahini! Loved the texture and the tips regarding garbanzo skins and roasting the pepper! New family favorite! - 6/19/11

I am so glad you like it! I was a little concerned about not adding Tahini, but it worked out perfectly! I thought it was really good on my turkey sandwich, it added allot of flavor! Peeling those beans is time consuming and a pain in the butt, but the texture is so much better, it's worth it!
