2018 Update
Two cloves of garlic and the juice from 1.5 lemons.
2022 Update
The original post for my Hummus was in 2013. Five years after that I updated the recipe. Well, time for another five year update. The changes? More tahini and more lemon juice.
That’s it.

I’ve checked the original cookbook version.
I’m gradually moving into the three lemon version.
