I wanted to make hummus similar to the kind that I enjoyed growing up. My mom’s version uses a lot of garlic. I stayed mostly true to her recipe but slightly enhanced it by adding a little kick! I had her test it and she said the flavors were unbelievably close. I often serve hummus with sliced cucumber.
