Basic recipe:

Can of chickpeas, skinned.
1/2 C Tahini
1/4 - 1/2 EVOO
2 Cloves garlic
1 ts salt.
1 TB lemon juice (I don't use this)

Whiz it all together with a stick blender and add more olive ol or
water until desired consistency.

Store bought hummus is usually short on the tahini and olive oil to
cut costs. Some doesn't use *any* EVOO. And they use citric acid
instead of lemon juice.

But when you make it at home, you can do it right.
