hummus

i get asked for my hummus recipe periodically and well, i think lately i've felt my blog could have some other things besides photos worked in. so here it is - my recipe for high-flavor, whippy, smooth hummus (so if you're a low-flavor, chunky hummus lover, pass on this version). jenn's famous hummus...actually,it is published...but you get it for free:

4 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Roasted Tahini
4 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
4 Garlic Cloves
2 tsp. Salt
2 – 12oz. cans Garbonzo Beans, rinsed
¼ - ½ C. Water

Combine first 5 ingredients in food processor and blend into smooth paste. Add garbonzo beans and ¼ cup water. Process until mixture has a consistent texture; add additional water until smooth. Allow mixture to process for 2 full minutes (this is a key step!). Let sit 4 hours; adjust taste by mixing in additional lemon juice or salt as needed.
