Personal Notes:
Makes lots and freezes well. I put it in 2 cup sized Pyrex freezer bowls, and defrost as needed. You can save steps by using canned garbanzo beans--like five cups cooked. This recipe includes making your own tahini and saves $$$. With hummus in the fridge, there's always something healthy in the house to nibble on.
