1
Crush or mince garlic ahead of time before adding other ingredients to the food processor so that the garlic is evenly distributed.
2
Add all ingredients to your food processor and process until mixture has a smooth texture (about a minute). You may need to stop half-way through to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula so that larger chunks are pureed.
3
With spatula, remove humus to your serving bowl and chill for two hours to set-up the flavors for maximum taste.
