I've made my fair share of hummus over the years, and this recipe needs some tweaking. The first time I made it exactly to the recipe and it was certainly a little...off. Too much lemon, too much water, not enough garlic or salt etc. The way I make it now is to reduce the lemon to 2 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon to not overpower everything. I always add pressed garlic into the lemon, it's a solid step but you can also remove the germ from the garlic clove and that works too. I also reduce the water to start. It's easier to add more than use too much, using 1 tablespoon first, then add either a teaspoon or a desert spoon once I've checked the mix. Top tip would be always taste your tahini beforehand. Where some are more intense than others, it's the only way to know whether 1/2 cup would be right for yours. I tend to add a little black pepper and an extra pinch of salt. Then it's perfect 👌
