could be. It could be how I tried it too, I'm on a fairly strict diet at the moment. I can't have it with the pita bread, I have to eat it on veggies. I really like fresh veggies so this isn't an issue, but I think last time I tried it the veggies may have been sub-par.
Then again, it could be the texture. I don't eat many tomatoes because they have the same texture as every nasty thing you've seen in a horror movie.

take a can of garbanzo beans or black eyed peas, or red beans, drain.
Whizz in food processor, add some good olive oil, whizz.
Is is as thick as you want it; no? add more olive oil, whizz. Repeat.
Now add cumin, taste, need more, add some more.
add some salt, taste, need more? add more.
At this point I quit cause I don't like lemon but most people add lemon to taste.

I am of Lebanese descent here's my mom's recipe
1 can of goya chick peas or 2c dry, soaked over night and cooked until fully tender
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 c tahini
1 T plain yogurt
salt and pepper
olive oil
there is no garlic in traditional hummus recipes although i add two roasted cloves and a 1 tsp of cumin
you should drain canned chick peas and rinse them well, this will help to remove any tinny flavor from the beans
after you have processed everything but oil then drizzled some in to get a workable consistancy, add a little water to get a slightly thinner consistancy than store bought brand. pita chips and regular wrm pita triangles are excellent as are raw veggies...use evoo to garnish on top, a little paprika or smoked paprika and chopped parsley..

"  eah, but I guess I didn't cook them nearly long enough. Do you think the dried bean version is better than canned?"
Honestly I don't remember if I tried the home cooked stuff I was frying up for hummus. But I doubt it's any better. Already cooked, canned ones should be just as good. Just don't fry them up. It makes for some pretty sad falafel. |

It's got a nice, light flavor. For years I didn't realize it was made out of chick peas, because you don't really taste any beans. I had thought it was some type of soft, mild cheese / sour cream blend due to the smooth consistency. But you get these notes of lemon, garlic, and a slightly nutty taste from the tahini. Nothing strong or weird tasting at all.

Just remember the salt. I use around 3/4 a teaspoon, when most use a full teaspoon. It wouldn't taste right with out salt.
