HOMEMADE HUMMUS

2 cans chickpeas (keep liquid of 1 can)
3 fresh garlic cloves
2 heaped teaspoons cumin
lemon juice (to taste – I used ¼ cup)
3 – 5 tablespoons of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Blitz chickpeas, garlic, cumin in a blender until smooth. Add olive oil and lemon juice until smooth.
If it’s too thick, gradually add chickpea liquid until desired consistency is achieved.
Season to taste.
Refrigerate until needed. (You can add tahini paste to make it an authentic hummus)
