Hummus

I've really struggled with making a plain-'ol regular hummus. The proportions always seem just a little off. Well, I've found if I follow this recipe exactly that my hummus turns out great! Which is fantastic given that I like to eat a lot of hummus and that I can make it for 1/4 of the price in the store.

Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves, peeled

2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

Salt to taste

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3 to 4 tablespoons broth (I call it the juice) from the chickpeas

2 to 3 tablespoons sesame tahini

Blend in a food processor until smooth.
