This garlicky homemade hummus gets its extra-creamy texture from navy beans that you cook from scratch. It’s important to sort dried beans before soaking them: Spread beans out on a kitchen towel, and remove any that are broken, shriveled, or unusually dark, as well as any rocks and debris that are in the mix.

I made this and for me it was pretty bland. I added 2tlbs of tahini and that did the trick. Much better. Made it a second time and omitted cilantro in lieu of salt free fajita seasoning and was even better.
