There is something seriously wrong with me I keep reading "looking for a human recipe". HahahahaSince I don't have any of those maybe I can help with the hummus. Canny quilters recipe is a good basic recipe, I use less of the tahini and add a good quality Evoo. You can alter the flavors by adding roasted red bell peppers, roasted jalapeno peppers, canned or frozen atrichoke hearts, a mutiitude of items. Like others have mentioned blending it longer and Pealing the skins from the beans also helps to get that really smooth texture. A really good quality blender helps too personally I have tried a food processor but it never seems to be able to chop the gritty texture away. Cooking your canned beans on a low simmer to get them extra done before blending also helps get it smoother too.
