Hummus is usually made of chickpeas. But hey, if you can make a paste out of it, you can make hummus out of it!
Process the first 7 ingredient ingredients in a food processor until they're chopped coarsely.
While the processor is still running, pour olive oil through the food chute in a slow, steady stream. Keep processing until the mixture turns smooth.
Stir in up to 5 Tbsp. water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, to reach your ideal spreading consistency. If you like, garnish the hummus with extra oil and peanuts. Serve with pita rounds or pita chips.
