If the homous doesnt look creamy during mixing then add more oil and lemon - lemon if it's not looking bright colour, oil if you know you already put enough lemon and still not creamy enough. Keep mixing as much as you can, it only gets better!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

That is how I make it too! Only, my persian friend cooks the can of chick peas first, They really soften up with that. And, to your ingredients, I actually put roasted red peppers from a jar into the processor. Other times, and trust me, I don't know WHY I experimented with it, but... have you ever tried your recipe with green olives??? I love to experiment with things and tried that once with those little green olives with the pimmentos in them, thinking totally that it would be a disaster, but it was really refreshing, specially with the lemon juice in the mix!!! Anyway, this is a proper recipe of Houmous! Kudo's!!!!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation
