Don't buy it...make it!

There are times when you need to buy things for the sake of convenience.  I get that.

But when you find a way to make something VERY easily that tastes SO delicious, buying premade doesn't have to happen again.

Once you make this hummus, you'll never buy the store brand crap stuff again.  And as usual, the more garlic, the better :)  Another recipe to thank my Mom for...trust me, you'll love this one!

By the way, you'll notice that there aren't measurements for some ingredients.  Just add a little at a time and taste as you go...use as much as you need to have it agree to your taste.

Hummus

2 cans chick peas

5 cloves garlic

1 1/2 teaspoons cumin

juice of one large lemon

extra virgin olive oil

tahini (can substitute with sesame oil)

salt and pepper to taste

Put everything except the oils in a food processor.  Start mixing, then begin pouring in the olive oil.  Pour in slowly until it reaches a creamy consistency.  

Add a few tablespoons of tahini.  Keep tasting until it's to your liking.  Add salt and pepper.  Keep tasting and adjust the lemon, oil, or whatever else is necessary.
