As a frequent purchaser or flavored hummus, we often look at the eight-ounce containers as one serving, possibly 1.5.

In terms of the “serving size” of two tablespoons—well, sure, if you’re five years old.

While our friend Jerry uses a mortar and pestle to grind his chickpeas and tahini into an authentic, rustic, consistency, we prefer the smooth-as-silk textures of commercial brands.

It’s so easy to make silky hummus. Just throw everything into a food processor.

Make this batch of Pumpkin Spice Hummus for Thanksgiving Week.
