Rockin' Hummus

1. 1

   Combine tahini and lemon juice and blend until smooth and frothy.

2. 2

   Add garlic and salt and blend again.

3. 3

   Add olive oil and 1/3 can of chickpeas and blend until smooth.

4. 4

   As you incorporate the rest of the chickpeas, add small amounts of the reserved chickpea liquid to thin the mixture to allow easy blending.

5. 5

   You will know when the consistency is right when the mixture moves thickly but easily inside the blender.

   When everything is incorporated and the consistency allows for easy blending, leave the blender on for a minute.

7. 7

   This is a good time to add any additional spices to taste.

   I love the addition of smoked paprika and a dash of cumin.
