Hummus is a Middle Eastern dish consisting of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) that have been cooked, blended with olive oil and garlic, and mashed to make a smooth consistency.To make hummus at home, the easiest way is to purchase a can of garbanzo beans. Drain it and pour the beans into a food processor. Add two peeled garlic cloves. Puree the beans and cloves while drizzling olive oil into the well.

Drizzle a little more olive oil on top and serve with triangles of toasted pita bread.
