  • Pour 1 can of chickpeas with its liquid into a Vitamix or other blender. Drain second can of chickpeas, reserving liquid. Set liquid aside and add chickpeas to the blender.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 6- to 8-inch saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until just turning golden in color, about 1 minute. Immediately remove from heat and add sautéed garlic with pan oil to the blender.
  • Use a citrus press to squeeze juice from lemon directly into the blender, avoiding getting seeds into mixture. Add remaining oil, tahini, salt, and cumin.
  • Blend thoroughly on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Add in desired amount of reserved chickpea liquid slowly and continue blending until desired consistency is reached, 2 to 3 minutes. To serve, scoop hummus into a flat serving bowl and spread evenly around in a circular fashion.
