Ingredients
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, half the liquid reserved (if you can only find a 15 oz can, that’s fine)
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions
  1. In a food processor, chop the garlic.
  2. Add all other ingredients (except reserved liquid) into food processor and blend until creamy and well mixed.
  3. Add reserved liquid at this point to achieve desired consistency.
  4. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour or more for flavors to fully develop.

I make hummus this way but I use grapeseed oil and for a kick use Wildtree Bloody Mary Blend. WOW.
