You will need extra virgin olive oil and not the regular cooking olive oil which is lighter in colour. You know the ones that sell them in big containers and not tiny fancy jars. If possible you need to source some good tahini from your local middle eastern shop. You need to balance the lemoniness out with salt and obviously not drown out the hummus adding everything incrementally is the only way forward. Once I ate hummus from a place that had 'Hummus' in the title and it lacked half the amount of lemon required. Reserve the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.You need to consider: how lemony are your lemons? Try and get lemons which are fat and juicy from a green grocer as sometimes supermarket lemons are a bit sad. Add garbanzo beans to a food processor, along with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. STEP 1: Drain garbanzo bean, reserving a few tablespoons of the liquid for later use.
