Drain and reserve the liquid from the Chickpeas. The liquid is a great way to add back to the hummus to balance the consistency. In a food processor bowl, add the Garlic and pulse to chop the garlic.
Add the Chickpeas to the bowl and chop to break down the chickpeas.
Add the Tahini and Cumin to the food processor.
Add some about a tablespoon of the chickpea liquid to allow the chickpeas to be broken down more as you pulse them.
Add the lemon juice and pulse the processor. Scrape down the sides.
Drizzle the Olive Oil and process further.
Let the food processor run for 2-3 minutes to smooth out the hummus.
Add salt and adjust seasoning and consistency with olive oil or chickpea juice.
Put the hummus into the refrigerator to allow the flavors to come together, a few hours to overnight.
