Extreme Garlic Hummus

Description
.

Ingredients

 * 4 cans of chickpeas
 * juice of 2 lemons
 * 1 bunch of parsley
 * 7-10 cloves of garlic
 * sesame tahini
 * garlic flavored oil (or olive oil)
 * spices of choice ***
 * 1 large onion
 * 1 red pepper
 * 1 green pepper
 * 1 large carrot
 * sea salt & spices

Directions
This recipe makes an enormous amount of hummus (about 4 to 5 lbs.), as I first created it at my job (a health food store), where such is necessary. However, I am sure that by simply reducing the quantity of each ingredient you will get the same great taste, but in a smaller batch.

Drain and rinse the chickpeas and set aside.

Peel the garlic and chop it up a little bit before placing it in the food processor.

Chop some of the stems off of the parsley before placing it in the food processor.

Add lemon juice and blend.


 * Add about 1/2 of the chickpeas, 2-3 tbsp. tahini and 2 tbsp. oil and blend. Add remaining chickpeas and blend again, with more oil if needed. Mixture should be creamy, but fairly thick.


 * Season to taste with spices of choice, along with salt and pepper if desired. I find that the best thing to do is use large quantities of: cumin, basil, onion powder and garlic powder, along with small amounts of: coriander, paprika, and oregano, and tiny bits of: cayenne pepper and thyme. Make sure spices are well-blended into the mixture.


 * Chop veggies and add to mixture, 1/2 at a time (half of the combined veggies at a time, not half of each one).
