SO HOW'D IT GO?
@Trekkie Old Bay Seasoning is what some people put on seafood and other stuff. It is not really a traditional hummus seasoning. Personally, this doesn't sound very appealing to me. Garlic and lemon juice are just as fast and easy and more authentic. This sounds more like a chickpea dip rather than Middle Eastern hummus. But, to each their own.
Looks great, but I'm in Britain - what is 'Old Bay' seasoning?
I decided to give this a try. I didn't feel like messing with the "Old Bay" seasoning, so I substituted some Garam Masala I've been meaning to use up, along with about a tbsp of cayenne pepper, a tbsp of cumin, a dash of salt and some olive oil. It was a little on the bitter side by that point, so I put in maybe 1 tbsp of agave nectar to buffer it a bit. It's pretty good, although I think I prefer standard hummus.
