Hummus is super easy.
1/4 Tahini
1/3 Lemon juice
1/3 - 1/2 cup water
1 clove chopped garlic (I press it and use a two or three cloves b/c I love garlic)
1 can rinsed chickpeas (you could also do 3/4 cup dried chickpeas - soaked or pressure cooked)
1/2 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste
Put tahini, lemon juice, water and garlic into a blender or food processor. Run it until smooth. Gradually add the chickpeas until the mixture has the texture you like, usually a thick paste. Salt and pepper to taste.
You can also add other flavors to liven it up. I really like basil from the garden, roasted red peppers or kalamata olives.
