this is my personal homemade recipe...
in a food processor of blender, blend 1 can of chick peas with 1 small clove of garlic (half a clove if you dont want it too strong, a bigger clove for more garlic flavor)....while blending, add a pinch of salt (about half a teaspoon) and a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice (i sometimes add more for flavor). while still blending, slowly pour in extra virgin olive oil. there is no exact amount of oil...just enough to get it to the consistency that you like...some like it thicker, some like it thinner...the more oil you add, the thinner it will be.
taste it to see if it needs more salt, garlic, or lemon juice.
ENJOY!!!
for different flavors, at the end, i like to add half a can of pitted black olives (the green olives dont taste good in the hummus). dont blend the olives in!! just pulse in the food processor so the olives stay chunky.
you could add roasted peppers at the end instead of black olives. pulse in...do not blend all the way!!!

2 cloves garlic—roughly chopped
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup water
14 oz (400g) canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)—rinsed and drained
½ cup tahini
1 teaspoon sea salt
PLACE all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth, scraping the sides occasionally.
Variations: If you like a spicier hummus, add a small red chili (chopped) or a pinch of cayenne pepper, or try a little cumin for a more exotic variation.
Tip: Prepare extra quantities of hummus—it can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 1 week and frozen for up to 3 months.
very good diped into pita- bread

As a mediterranean native I have a long experience with Hummus. In fact it is my everyday breakfast.
Please do not use anything from a can. You can easily cook dry peas and get much better results. Other than that most of the recepies looks good.
Tip!: once the water have boiled add half teaspoon of soda powder to speed up the cooking process. add salt at the end of the cooking.
enjoy.
