Hummus (Tahini-Free)

1. In a food processor (or a mini-chop), throw in garlic cloves and pulse until finely minced.
2. Add chickpeas, white vinegar, and hot sauce (optional) into the food processor. Turn on food processor and process until the chickpeas are ground up.
3. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and continue blending. Stop when you reach the consistency you desire.
4. Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings to your taste. Sometimes I need to add not only salt and pepper, but some extra vinegar too!
5. Serve with pita chips and carrot sticks or use as a protein-packed vegetarian spread in sandwiches!
