Lebanese Grandma'S Hummus

• 15 ounces chickpeas Cans of, or equivalent in cooked chickpeas from a bag
• 3 garlic x Cloves of, Depends a bit on clove size and taste preference, a little garlic in this recipe will go a long way.
• 1/2 onion small to medium-sized, I like to use red onion when I can, but white or yellow also work fine, just a bit stronger. A little onion in this recipe will go a long way.
• 1 lemon x Large
• sea salt
• tahini aka Sesame Butter Greek brands are usually good, saucier is better than thick.
• white wine vinegar or just regular White Vinegar
• extra-virgin olive oil
• ground cayenne pepper Finely, for a little extra spice/bite., If you don't like spicy, just leave this out.

1. First in the food processor: Garlic and Onion (half or quarter these first if you'd like to make it faster / easier with your machine).
2. Pour in a healthy dose of olive oil (approx 1/4 to 1/2 cup at first), Then add some white wine vinegar (approx 1/4 to 1/2 cup at first).
3. Squeeze your large lemon and pour in juice and pulp (minus seeds of course)
4. Add 3 teaspoons of sea salt (can be heaping if you like salty).
5. Next drizzle in some tahini. Make sure your jar is well mixed first before doing this of course. Be conservative initially, maybe 2-3 tablespoons -- you can always add more later if you feel the taste is too subtle. Personally I find that too much tahini can end up dominating the flavor of the hummus, so I try not to use too much.
6. Add 2-3 sprinklings of fine ground cayenne pepper if you like it a little spicy. If you don't, just leave this out. 2-3 sprinkles won't be too bad.
7. Replace the top on the Food processor now and liquify the contents.
8. Open three 15 OZ cans of Chickpeas, or equivalent of cooked chickpeas, drain out the water and dump inside your processor.
9. Run the food processor some more, adding splashes of additional olive oil and white wine vinegar as needed for taste and a more creamy consistency. Same goes for tahini if you like that taste more emphasized.
