Steps:

• Put first 7 ingredients in food processor and pulse. May need to add a little water to get to the correct consistancy. I also add just a tad more garlic powder and onion powder for flavor. We like garlic at my house, so that is your preference.
• Chill for 20 to 30 mins and enjoy with cut up vegetables, pita chips or crackers.

CLASSIC HUMMUS

Steps:

• In a food processor [mini-chopper or blender], process garlic, lemon juice, and tahini to a smooth paste.
• Add chickpeas, water, cumin, and salt to taste and blend until desired texture is achieved, but not too smooth - best somewhere around an applesauce texture.
• Spoon into 2 serving bowls (I find dividing it into 2 bowls has been useful over the years, but you can use 1 or as many serving bowls you want of course.). Sprinkle top of hummus with paprika, then create small swirl wells in the center of each bowl and pour a bit of extra virgin olive oil in the well. Serve with your favorite snacks! Store in refrigerator.
