Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Very tasty! Like Valerie said, the lemon was a little strong and the recipe was a little thick. I added about a tablespoon of olive oil and that helped quite a bit.

i made this general recipe but using more garbanzos than specified and then all the other ingredients ass listed here. it came out amazingly but i think if i had used the specified amount of beans it might have been a bit too strong. really good though.

This is a pretty standard hummus recipe. We decreased the lemon juice as a matter of personal preference (we just don't care for the often overpowering lemon flavor of some hummus recipes). The other ingredients were perfectly balanced. This hummus was a little thicker (we did add liquid to replace the lemon juice amount) so if you prefer a thinner consistency, add some water or vegetable broth as needed. We liked the thickness of it and it would be great on sandwiches!

very tasty. almost exactly how my mother in law makes it (she's from Pakistan) although a little hot pepper should spice it up a bit. try to heat up the chick peas first to soften, it will help with the graininess
