Delicious, easy-to-make hummus that is better than anything you'll find at the store. The roasted garlic makes it great on its own or as a base for other flavored hummus.

Instructions
Add all ingredients to food processor, except the olive oil.
Blend well until it begins to look like a gritty paste, scraping the sides every once in a while. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
While still blending, drizzle in olive oil.
Continue blending for another minute, continuing to scrape down sides of the bowl , until desired consistency. If hummus is too thick, add a little extra olive oil to thin it out.
Transfer hummus to bowl and drizzle with more olive oil immediately prior to serving.
