Hummus Qt (not your Grandma's)

Servings ~ 1 Quart
6 Ounce Garlic, Peeled
1 TABLEspoon Olive Oil, (Extra Virgin)
1 teaspoon Salt, Sea
I introuce the ingredients in group 2 in two stages, blending in between
2 Can #1, (10-16 oz) Garbonzo Beans
1/2 Cup Olive Oil, (Extra Virgin)
1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
1/2 Cup Tahini
1/4 to 1 teaspoon Salt, Sea This is to your taste
1/2 Cup Water Adjust for preffered consistency
1 TABLEspoon Jalapeno Oil
  Drain beans
  I use a stickblender (boat motor) in a 50 ounce fountain cup.
  First I blend the roasted garlic, 1/2 lemon juice, 1/2 olive oil. (The smoother, the better)
  Then the rest of the first half of group 2. Then I add the second half of group 2
  While I have the Jalapeno oil listed as optional it is kinda required.
  Add water to get the consistancy that you like.
  You can replace the Tahini with thinned peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 1 to 2 tablespoons more Olive Oil.
  And of course I make my own Jalapeno Oil:
  Pour a quart of canola oil into a half gallon jar, then fill with sliced jalapenos, let sit for at least 30 days, strain back in to it's bottle, refergerate.
