Lemon-Dill Hummus - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb chickpeas (garbanzos)
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup tahini
3 garlic cloves, whacked and peeled
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Preparation

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.
