Why make your own hummus?

I know there are tons of varieties available at the grocery store, so why go to the trouble to make it yourself? Well, you know exactly what's in it for starters. Plus, you can make it taste exactly the way you like. Lots of store-bought hummus can be bland, but you control the flavor when you make it yourself. Plus, it's definitely going to be cheaper to make it at home.

Ingredients

Scale

1 can chickpeas aka garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 clove garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Juice of half a lemon (I added a bit more after tasting because I like my hummus very bright)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
3 to 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt
A drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

Add the chickpeas, garlic, olive oil, peanut butter, lemon juice, salt, and cumin to the bowl of your food processor. Turn it on and let it spin until everything is combined. I let it go probably a minute. It will still be a bit rough at this point.
Add the Greek yogurt and process again for another minute. Taste for flavor and consistency. If you want it smoother, add in a bit more yogurt. Adjust seasonings to your liking.
Transfer hummus to a serving dish and drizzle with olive oil.

Notes

If you prefer your hummus super smooth, you could remove all the skins from each individual bean. It does take a long time, and its maybe 25% smoother, so it's totally up to you.
