How to make hummus

Empty three cans of garbanzo beans in a pot

Let sit on medium high heat for about 30 minutes

In the meantime peel the garlic, you will need about a dozen cloves

Squeeze 4 lemons, make sure to drain so no seeds or plump is left in juice

Then cover the pot and lower the heat for 10 more minutes

There should still be water left when done

Then in good processor grate the garlic

Then add the lemon juice

Next about 2 tsp of salt

Turn off heat and leave the pot on stove

Then add the garbanzo beans with as little of the water as possible

Once the garbanzo beans are incorporated

Then add the tahini

Add 4 1/2 to 5 table spoons depending on preference

Then add the water from cooking the garbanzo beans

At this point taste the hummus it may need more lemon juice or salt. In this case the garlic taste was too strong so I added both

Then pour into a serving dish

I like to leave done garbanzo beans aside to add on top

Optional: add a little parsley, cumin, and chili powder on top

The most important thing to add is the olive oil I like to smoother mine :)
