I'm glad I did!<BR/><BR/>Tania, hmm... I wish I could help you. My hummus usually turns out pretty well. I've posted several recipes on this site, if you wanna take a look. And if you need some advice, let me know.<BR/><BR/>Urban Vegan, hummus is one of the only things I can ALWAYS count on being vegan... It's nearly foolproof!<BR/><BR/>Kleo, it's so funny how we change our minds about foods like that. As for me, I never saw a chickpea until college, and it was love at first taste. As for your question, no, I don't think that would ruin it at all. As it is, the garlic flavor isn't terribly strong--it could certainly stand for more, if you want!laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124236356802448254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-81786847433060920382007-06-30T23:22:00.000-04:002007-06-30T23:22:00.000-04:00It's so weird for me and chickpeas.

Turning my nose up at them in the store when i would see them in cans. i would NEVER eat 'em when i was younger and i would say that for the last 10 years, i haven't been able to get enough of them.<BR/><BR/>Hummus is one of my staples. When i was on my recent road trip up the coast, i kept buyin' red roasted pepper hummus to keep in the cooler and it was amazing with offerings from my big bag o'garlic bagels. <BR/><BR/>i wish i could try yours...<BR/><BR/>i am going to try your curried chickpea salad, if i can find my Nayonaise... i think i have some in my fridge... do you think it would "ruin" it to add more garlic and cut back a little on the curry powder??KleoPatrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15870163086087701279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-12462486010944793852007-06-30T13:41:00.000-04:002007-06-30T13:41:00.000-04:00Chick peas are one of my best friends, too.
