Hummus

[Twitchin Kitten]

I have not used a recipe for this in years!
The recipes I find are in the books because I go by memory.

Here's my "from memory" way of making it. It's probably easier for you. Forget math. Math sucks. :P

Chickpeas - the Goya section has the biggest cans. If no Goya, Progresso brand is good.

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE CANS!! Any amount will work with this method.

Get your cans open and drained.
Save the juice.
Get lemon out.
Get garlic out.
Get tahini out.
Salt is optional.
Get the olive oil out.

prepare garlic
Cut the lemon in half (or get your lemon juice ready)

Throw chickpeas in the food processor with a nice dollop of tahini, garlic and a good dollop of olive oil.
Turn on machine. From the 'add stuff here hole' in the top of the machine while it's running add a little of the chickpea juice. Keep adding a LITTLE at a time until it STARTS to get smooth.

Add your lemon juice - like two tablespoons. Spin it a sec or two. Stick your finger in and taste it. Add more lemon in SMALL amts until it tastes right to you.
Then if it's still too thick, add more chickpea juice till it's the consistency you like.

I like mine a little on the thicker side. Many places are now watering the stuff down and it's downright disgusting.

Let me know if this works for you.
