hummus is super easy - -all you need is a pretty powerful food processor.... ( I have a big ole cuisinart.. that is too heavy to move for everyday stuff - i make this frequently in a small black and decker food processer.. that maybe holds 2 -3 cups of stuff - it's small - -but it's got enough power to blend)

1 can of garbonzo beans, drained
3 cloves of garlic (I like garlic, use one if you don't have a fear of vampires - -or be creative and use one head of roasted garlic)
1 splash of olive oil (do not use vegetable oil, this is for teh flavor)
juice of 1/2 lemon (or more, your choice)
a tablespoon or three of tahini (sesame paste - this stuff is a little price, but it's good and it really lasts a long time0

Blend until smooth... (if you want it a little smoother, reserve the juice from the can of garbonzos and add it while you are pureeing


(you can get creative with it and add in some roasted peppers or some cilantro.)
