Ingredients
- 1 15 oz. can garbanzos
- 3 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon(s) toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 dash(es) salt
- 1 dash(es) pepper
Instructions
- Pour garbanzos into a fine strainer set over a bowl to collect liquid; reserve liquid.

- Whirl until smooth and creamy.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and, if mixture is too stiff, 1 to 2 more tbsp of liquid; hummus should be soft but still stiff enough to hold its shape.
