Recipe Summary Garlicky Lemony Hummus

This is a bold, flavorful hummus with a bit of heat. The lemon juice and zest give a wonderful brightness that my children and grandchildren seem to love. The ingredients are usually available in my pantry, so I can make this at a moment's notice. This, of course, is to my taste, and I like lots of flavor, so a little goes a long way. I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients | Rajmata Gayatri Devi Grandchildren

2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained

1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained with liquid reserved

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 lemons, zested and juiced

1 tablespoon ground cumin

2 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

¾ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

Pour all garbanzo beans into the bowl of a food processor; pulse several times to slightly break some of the beans. Add garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, cumin, basil, salt, cayenne pepper, and ground black pepper; blend until the beans are beginning to look like large crumbs, about 1 minute.

With the food processor running, gradually stream reserved liquid from garbanzo beans, olive oil, and sesame oil into the beans mixture; continue to blend until all liquids are integrated with the garbanzo bean mixture into a smooth hummus.

This makes a large quantity and keeps beautifully.

I blend mine until very smooth. You can change the amount of oil and use more of the drained liquid if you prefer.
