directions
Pour the drained chickpeas into a blender or food processor and add the rest of the ingredients. Blend or process until smooth.
cook's notes
Some chickpea brands are "drier" than others (that is, cooked less and therefore the peas are crunchier). Just add more olive oil if you cannot get the dip smooth. I like to add a tablespoon of red curry paste (my secret ingredient) to give my hummus a kick, but again, the amount depends on the hotness of the paste, which differs by brand.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

reviews & comments
Instead of using more oil and upping the calorie count use some of the water from the canned beans. Also I've found that if you remove the skins of the beans you'll get smoother hummus.
