Posted in response to a request. This is the recipe for hummus used by the New Deal cafe, where I cook, in Greenbelt, Maryland. Use with my Hummus and veggie wrap. (makes ALOT!)

Ingredients

• 108  ounces  canned garbanzo beans, divided in half
• 1⁄2 cup olive oil
• 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
• 1⁄3 cup tahini
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 5 -6  garlic cloves
•  water, as needed

Directions

1. Open can of beans and drain. set aside half for another use.
2. Put all other ingredients along with half can beans in a large food processor. Turn on and as it processes, add water in a stream to get a desired consitancy. (thinner than bean dip, but thicker than a cream soup. It thickens in the fridge.).
