Make this delicious -- and healthy -- chickpea puree in a matter of minutes.

To complete this How-To you will need:

15-ounce can of chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans
1 clove of chopped garlic
1 lemon
Salt
2 tbsp. tahini (sesame-seed paste)
2 tbsp. olive oil
Pita bread, pita chips, crackers, or vegetables
A colander
A food processor, blender, or a potato masher
A bowl
Olives, red peppers, or chili peppers
Garnish of parsley, pine nuts, or diced garlic

Step 1: Blend chickpeas

Open and drain the can of chickpeas. Rinse them off in a colander and put them in a food processor or blender, or place them in a large bowl to mash by hand.

Tip: Save a few of the chickpeas to garnish the finished plate.

Step 2: Add tahini paste and garlic

Add the tahini paste and the garlic.

Step 3: Add lemon juice

Squeeze the lemons and add the juice to the mix. Make sure no seeds get in.

Tip: Make your own variations by mixing in olives, red peppers, or chili peppers.

Step 4: Add salt and olive oil

Add about one-quarter teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 5: Blend or mash

Blend the mixture -- or mash by hand -- for about a minute, or until it is as smooth or chunky as you want.

Tip: If the hummus is too thick or chunky, add extra olive oil to thin it out.

Step 6: Garnish and serve

Pour the hummus onto a plate and smooth it out in big circles with the bottom of a spoon. Garnish with the leftover chickpeas, parsley, pine nuts, or more chopped garlic. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.

Step 7: Enjoy

Enjoy your hummus as a dip with pita bread, crackers, or veggies, or use it as a sandwich spread!
