Adventures in hummus making

I've had the ingredients to make hummus lying around for a long time. Because I'd been meaning to make hummus for a long time. And in my head it was a bigger deal than it really was (isn't that always the case?). So when Crazy boy said he was hungry and wanted a snack, for some reason I decided to give the hummus a try. I found a recipe from The Everything Baby Food Cookbook (or something like that) and since recipes are more like guidelines anyway, I adjusted.

1 can chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained (Ok, so the original recipe only called for 1 cup of chickpeas and 1 TBL of everything below, but there's like 1 1/2 cups of chickpeas in a can and instead of letting them go to waste (because they would, trust me they would) I just threw them in and adjusted everything else).
1 clove garlic (the one I used was ginormous, about the equivalent of 2-3)
1 1/2 TBL Lemon juice
1 1/2 TBL ground cumin
1 1/2 TBL tahini
1 1/2 TBL olive oil
1 1/2 TBL water

After I gave it a whirl in my mini food processor, it still seemed really chunky and thick to me. So I used a lot more water, maybe 1/4-1/3 of a cup. Sorry, in my family, we don't measure things. Also, since this is a recipe for babies, it was kinda bland, so I did a quick round-the-block with some sea salt. Also, there was just something missing. It's hard to describe. So I did about 1 1/2 TBL of lime juice. I think that fixed it.

Beware of using that much raw garlic. Now that I know how easy it is, I'll make it more often. Next time I'll roast some garlic ahead of time and get it sweeter. Less burning of the mouth.
