Super Garlicky Hummus

I really like garlic--perhaps too much. This hummus turned out a little spicier than expected. It may have to do with the 3 cloves of garlic I put in it or the fact that I accidentally poured in too much black pepper. I only intended to put in 1/4 tsp of black pepper but there might have been more like 1/2 a tsp. But back to the point, hummus makes for a great snack with crackers or pita and is also a good sandwich spread. It's rather addicting, at least for me.

Everything in the food processor.

Garnished with sliced pimentos and capers. Looks so pretty!

It's a hummus and pita flower!
