Zesty Lemon Hummus

1. 1

   Chop or mash the garlic clove in a food processor or mortar and pestle.

2. 2

   Add the chickpeas and grind them until they look like a gritty paste.

3. 3

   Add the lemon juice and continue to process for a minute or two, until the hummus becomes smooth.

4. 4

   Add the tahini and process until combined.

5. 5

   Add a little salt, to taste, depending on how well the chickpeas have already been seasoned.

6. 6

   Spread half of the hummus in a thin, even layer on a plate (about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick). Drag the back of a spoon across the surface, dipping the spoon into the hummus to create little pockets as you go. Moving in a spiral over the surface works well.

7. 7

   Use the rest of the hummus for another plate, or keep it in the refrigerator for another time.

8. 8

   Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and dust with herbs or spices.

   * This hummus recipe is very lemony and vibrant. If you like less lemon, feel free to replace some amount of the lemon juice with an equal amount of water.
