Hummus

Cook chickpeas in enough water to keep covered.

Cook for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Taste peas from time to time until done.

Save water when done.

In a food processor, add the ingredients in "batches."

Add chickpea water to keep it smooth (a thicker than pudding look).

Mix batches in a bowl with a wooden spoon.

Serve on a plate with olive oil drizzled on it, also with pita wedges and veggies.
