Hummus

Hummus
Makes 3 cups.

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chickpeas, liquid reserved
1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste)
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:
1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend on medium speed until combined.
2. Taste it.
3. If it needs more salt and lemon juice, add some (about ½ more lemon.) If it’s too thick, turn on the motor, and add chickpea liquid or water to create a smooth puree.
