Hummus

I know I've posted a recipe for hummus before, but I think this one is better.


Hummus:
1 can (15-16oz) garbanzo beans (chick peas), drained, but reserve 3 tablespoons of the liquid

1/4 cup olive oil

1 clove garlic

1 tablespoon lemon juice (more can be added if you desire)

1/2 teaspoon salt

If using a food processor, add everything except the reserved liquid together and blend. If using a blender, I recommend blending it into two mixtures and then combining them. Add the reserved liquid a little at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency.

Optional additions: 

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin and sprinkle with coarsely ground pepper

1/3 cup chopped and drained sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)

1/3 cup chopped and drained roasted red peppers (packed in oil)
