Drain and rinse chick peas.  Add to food processor or blender and puree until consistent, adding 1/2 cup water as needed.  Blend in garlic, lemon and tahini.  Spread evenly into a dish.  Put a little divit in the centre and pour on a teaspoon of olive oil.

*I use Eden brand chick peas because the cans are free of bisphenol A; however, if you do use Eden you’ll probably need to add more salt since there doesn’t appear to be salt added.  I add a teaspoon of sea salt which is just about right for us.

If you want to add a bit of spice to your hummus, throw in some ground cayenne pepper to make it ooh la la!
