Hummus

1. 1

   Drain the chickpeas, and be sure to save the liquid.

2. 2

   Put the chickpeas, garlic, tahini, olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 4 tablespoons of the chickpea liquid into a food processor or blender and process until smooth.

3. 3

   Add more lemon juice and more chickpea liquid if its too thick.

4. 4

   Check seasonings and adjust as needed.

5. 5

   Serve with pita bread, baguette, crackers or fresh cut veggies (I love it with baby carrots).

6. 6

   For a Middle Eastern touch, drizzle the hummus with additional olive oil.

7. 7

   Yield: As commenters have said, this recipe makes a LOT (leaving it at 2 servings was a mistake).

8. 8

   It can be halved easily, as well as adapted by changing levels of garlic, tahini, and lemon juice to suit your own taste.
