Instructions (4 steps)

01Drain beans, reserving some liquid.
02Measure all ingredients except salt into the bowl of a food processor.
03Process until smooth, adding a little more lemon juice, some of the reserved liquid, or water if necessary. (My husband thinks it’s too lemony if I use the full amount of lemon juice; I like it that way – this totally depends on your preference.) Add salt to taste. Store in fridge.
04To use dry garbanzo beans in this easy hummus recipe:: Soak one pound of beans overnight, making sure they’re covered by about 4″ of water. Drain and rinse beans. Put beans in a stock pot, again covering them with about 4″ of water. Gently boil for about an hour or until beans are soft. Drain, retaining about 1/2 cup of the cooking water to use for thinning the hummus as necessary. Use four cups of cooked beans in recipe and freeze the rest for next time.
