Bobbi's Hummus is pretty easy to make. I like the taste but it's very pricey for the amount they give you...and more than a little bit overrated. The product comes packaged in tubs that are about the size of a Marino's water ice...

I've tried this recipe myself, and with a little bit of creativity, have come up with some great recipes of my own....and being able to make three times the amount of hummus for the same price as one of theirs...well, it's an easy decision for me to make.

Mothering.com has a recipe on their website that produces a hummus which tastes exactly like Bobbi's. Hope you all enjoy ;) Imitation is the greatest form of flattery!

Copycat Bobbi's 'My Favorite Hummus' Recipe!!'
Spinoff from the 'tahini-free hummus' thread... I posted this recipe there, but since I was getting to the discussion late, I thought I'd make this its own post. I am so excited to have developed this recipe!! It tastes just like Bobbi's My Favorite Hummus!

1 15 oz can (~1 1/2 c) chickpeas/garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
2 T olive oil
2 T safflower oil
2 T grapeseed oil (or more safflower oil, or any other mild-tasting oil)
6 T water (just over a third of a cup)
1/4 t lemon juice, preferably fresh
3/4 t salt
pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, add more to taste

Peel and crush the garlic. Let it sit a minute. (Letting garlic 'breathe' a little before cooking enhances ithe bioavailability of its goodness, or so I've read.) Put everything in a food processor. Blend until smooth, and chill thoroughly.

Other options: parsley, cilantro, roasted peppers...even kalamata olive flavor.

Much cheaper than the $4-6 at whole foods!
