Miso's hummus

 The key to a good hummus is good quality olive oil. If you truly dig hummus I would make the investment in a good olive oil. If your not out to spend too much Trader Joe's has some tasty mid range olive oils for you to explore. Enjoy!

4 Garlic Cloves
2 x 15 oz. Can Garbanzo beans
2/3 cup Tahini
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup good quality olive oil
1/2 tsp Salt
handful roasted pine nuts
cumin (season to taste)

Season to taste. you may have to add a little olive oil, salt or cumin depending on your preference, but go easy on the lemon. A common mistake a lot of commercial manufacturers of Hummus is adding far too much lemon, which really kills the goodness of hummus.

Blend all ingredients in food processor. Viola!
