Hummus

1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 
2 cloves garlic, peeled 
1 teaspoon sea salt (divided) 
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground cumin 
2 tablespoons water
3 small ice cubes 
1/3 cup tahini 
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 

Using a food processor, chop two cloves of garlic and a 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Process until the garlic is finely minced. 


Add the drained garbanzo beans, fresh lemon juice, cumin and water to processor and continue to chop. After 2 minutes add ice. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency, about 4 minutes total. 


Add the tahini and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the mixture. While the food processor is running, drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. Continue blending until the hummus becomes creamy. Approx 1 minute.
