I have made hummus a few times and hadn't quite gotten it right during those times. Too much garlic, WAY too much tahini, too thick... This time, I think I have it right. See for yourself!
1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 cup water
1.5 tablespoons of tahini (sesame seed paste)
1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
a few pinches of salt and black pepper
Place beans and garlic in a food processor and pulse 5 times or until coarsely chopped. Add 1/4 cup water and remaining ingredients and pulse until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Be super careful with the tahini. Add it in small increments until you reach your desired taste. It is a much stronger taste than you might anticipate! Also, I ended up adding a bit more lemon juice than I listed above. Feel free to do the same!
