Amazing Cheater Hummus

This easy hummus, made with canned garbanzos, is so light, creamy and fluffy it'll fool people into thinking you soaked beans overnight and cooked them the next day. It's not quite as simple as dumping a can of garbanzos into the food processor and whirring them up, but almost. Be sure to stir the tahini very well before you use it. 

I designed this to be as quick and easy as possible, which is why the garlic cloves are left unpeeled, and you chop them in the food processor. f you want to make half a recipe, that part of the recipe isn’t as practical. A slightly tweaked method for a half recipe follows.
