Garlic Hummus

1 15-16 ounce can garbanzo beans (chick peas), drained

4 cloves garlic, peeled (roasted if you want*)

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

½ teaspoon garlic salt (or just regular salt)

½ teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon Tahini

Puree all the ingredients in a food processor. Add more olive oil if you need to adjust the consistency of the hummus. Season with salt if necessary. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika on top. Sliced red bell peppers, carrots, and sliced cucumbers are good vehicles to get the hummus into your mouth.

*Note: you can roast your garlic for a more mellow garlic flavor (drizzle cloves with olive oil and roast at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or so before you add them to the hummus.
