Instructions

In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine chickpeas, lemon juice, and garlic and pulse until the garlic is minced and the chickpeas are ground.
Add tahini, olive oil, and reserved chickpea liquid (or water) as needed, and process until smooth or desired consistency. Season to taste with salt (I like 1/2 teaspoon). To serve, drizzle olive oil over the top.

Notes

Chickpeas: Save some of the juice from the canned chickpeas (also known as aquafaba), or cooking liquid from dried chickpeas, to adjust the consistency of your hummus.
Garlic: For a softer, more mellow flavor, cut the top of a whole bulb of garlic off to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Roast at 400 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes, until a knife easily pierces the cloves.
