Not only is this recipe for hummus quick, it’s really good as well. The seasoning ratios are just right, although that guy in the video would be pretty pissed about the tahini omission.
Serve the hummus along with easy to make pita triangles.

3 cloves garlic
15-ounce can chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
