3 tablespoons olive oil (as needed)
salt, to taste

1 teaspoon cumin (or to taste)
For Dipping
cut celery, carrots, or flatbread
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.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
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.
