Garlic-y, nutty garbanzo bean dip pairs perfectly with pita chips or sliced vegetables. Winston's Hummus is bound to be a favorite appetizer at any get-together!
0 Open the can of chickpeas, and pour them into a colander. Drain and rinse thoroughly before proceeding.
1 Add the chickpeas, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and tahini to the food processor. You don't need to de-shell the beans, though if you want to do this, feel free. We've found it adds a lot more work, and we cannot really tell a difference after everything is blended.
2 Blend until smooth, or the consistency of your liking. Add more oil or even a splash of cold water to thin it out, if necessary.
3 Taste, then season with salt and pepper to your taste.
4 Consume immediately with vegetables and pita chips, or transfer to a food-safe storage container and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
