Homemade Hummus Recipe

I have adapted this recipe from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook.

Ingredients:

2 cups chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained

1 1/2 tsp Real Salt

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)

6 TBS fresh squeezed lemon juice (from 2 lemons)

2 TBS olive oil

8 dashes Tabasco sauce

Instructions:

Place all ingredients into blender or food processor and puree. Taste for seasoning and chill before serving.
