Smoky Almond Hummus

This is a rather sophisticated hummus. Remember that the smoky flavour needs to be balanced with acidity. Add more vinegar or lemon if you like.

1 clove garlic

1 can white beans

1/3 cup tahini

juice of 1 lemon (or lime is good too, or a mix)

2 tbsps red wine vinegar

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp salt (or to taste, I'm not telling you what to do, calm down)

1/4 tsp alspice (just trust me here, ok?)

1 tsp oregano leaves

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tbsp of water

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1. grind garlic clove in food processor.

2. add spices, salt and oregano and almonds, grind.

3. add beans, oil, lemon juice, tahini and water, grind until smooth.
