Ingredients

    2 large garlic cloves, or more to taste
    1 Cup dried white beans soaked over night and boiled and drained.
    1/3 cup well-stirred tahini
    ¼ cup lemon juice, or more to taste
    1 tsp salt
    Cumin, to taste
    Water
    Extra virgin olive oil, for serving
    Pita

Directions

In a food processor, pulse the garlic cloves to mince them thoroughly. Add the white beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and a pinch or two of cumin. Puree well, scraping down the sides of the food processor bowl with a spatula as needed. Add water a couple of tablespoons at a time, until the hummus is as thick or thin as you like (I use about ¼ cup). It should have a very smooth, light, almost whipped consistency. Taste to check for seasoning, and adjust as necessary. Serve the hummus at room temperature, drizzled with olive oil, and eat with pita.
