Instructions

Put all ingredients in a heavy duty blender (aka Vitamix) and/ or food processor.
Blend until of desired consistency. A typical food processor will need approximately 4 minutes to get it really smooth.
Serve with chips, vegetables, Focaccia Flax Bread, or use as a spread.

Notes

For those on the Trim Healthy Mama Plan, this can be an E food. Just reduce the oil to 1 teaspoon and add in extra water or liquid from the garbanzos to desired consistency.
It is preferable for the garbanzo beans to be organic and cooked with organic ajwain (you can read my post on it here) to remove gassiness from the beans.
For tips on peeling garlic, see The Easiest Way to Peel Garlic.
You may substitute tahini for the olive oil. My eldest has a life-threatening allergy to sesame seeds, so we don't use tahini in our hummus. Personally I like the lighter flavor of sesame-free hummus.
If you would prefer to buy your lemon juice, here is a great brand of organic lemon juice.
Aleppo pepper is a wonderful alternative to the crushed red pepper, but it's hard to find. Any red pepper will work.
