Cilantro and Garlic Hummus

I love hummus. I could eat hummus all day long and not get bored with it. I never made my own hummus before and I'm not sure why because it really isn't all that difficult to do. The basics are toss a 14 oz can of drained chickpeas into your blender, add a little bit of sesame oil, a teaspoon or so of cumin (I usually go to the "or so" part and put a tablespoon in), a couple cloves of chopped garlic, a tablespoon of lemon juice, and some finely chopped cilantro (about 1/4 cup) into a blender and blend until smooth. Add a little bit of the liquid that the chickpeas were soaking in to loosen it up (a little less than 1/4 cup works for me). What I love about this is you can add anything to the chickpeas that you want to get whatever flavor you want. I usually eat hummus by scooping it up with slices of cucumber or pita chips, whatever is handy usually. Quick, easy, nutritious, and delicious.
