Ingredients
29
oz.
can garbanzo beans
1 ½
cup
water
2
garlic cloves
1
tsp
salt
⅔
cup
tahini
make sure you stir first
⅔
cup
FRESH lemon juice

tbsp
extra virgin olive oil
1-2
tbsp
warm water

Pine nuts for garnish

Instructions
drain and rinse the garbanzo beans and place in a sauce pan
cover with water and bring up to a rapid boil
allow to boil until half of the water has boiled off
pour both the beans and the water into the food processor and process for 2 minutes
chop the garlic and then sprinkle with the salt
using your knife's blade grind the garlic into a paste
add the paste and salt into the food processor along with the tahini and process again for 2 minutes
slowly pour in the lemon juice as it's still processing
drizzle the olive oil in VERY slowly, the drizzle should be about the thickness of a string
if the hummus still seems too thick slowly pour 1-2 tbsp of water in until the desired thickness is reached
