CAM'S HUMMUS

Steps:

• Place garlic cloves in a saucepan. Pour in oil to barely cover garlic. Heat over medium heat until oil bubbles. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes, until garlic turns light brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and strain out garlic; let infused oil cool to room temperature.
• Place cumin seeds in a small skillet over low heat. Toast until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind into a powder.
• Drain garbanzo beans into a bowl, reserving 2 to 3 tablespoons soaking liquid.
• Combine 1/4 garlic cloves, cumin powder, garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor; blend, thinning with reserved soaking liquid and 1 to 3 tablespoons garlic oil, until hummus is smooth.

HUMMUS

Steps:

• Drain the ceci (pronounced cheh- chee- or"chick peas") and save the liquid.
• Put the drained ceci into the plastic container.
• Juice the lemon.
• You should have around 1/4 cup.
• More or less won't hurt.
• Put the juice into the container with the ceci.
• Add 1/4 cup tahini to the ceci.
• Measuring 4 Tablespoons is easier since you won't have to scrape it out of the measuring cup.
• You need to stir up the tahini anyway with a spoon.
• If it's at room temperature it will be easier to stir.
• Add everything else to the ceci!
• Mince the garlic.
• Add it to the ceci.
• Blend it all together with the immersion blender like this.
• You may have to add some of the ceci liquid.
• I usually add around 2 tablespoons.
• (the same spoon you used to add the tahini).
• When it's all smooth and it's the viscosity you like, you're done!
• Let it sit for a few hours in the refrigerator for the ingredients to get to know each other.
