Lemon-Dill Hummus
I had fresh dill from my garden and was cooking half a pound of chickpeas for something else anyway so I cooked the whole bag. A little experimentation yielded this variation on the world's most useful dip/spread. Please use fresh dill. You'll regret it if you don't. Hummus freezes well.

DIRECTIONS
- Soak chickpeas overnight. Bring to a boil and simmer 30-45 minutes or until tender.
- Drain, reserving liquid.
- While chickpeas are still hot, put them into the blender with all the other ingredients.
- Add 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and blend on medium speed until it achieves a smooth, peanut-butter-like consistency. Add additional cooking liquid if it seems too stiff.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Best if chilled overnight to develop flavor.
