Extreme Garlic Hummus

__NOTOC__
== Description ==
This recipe makes an enormous amount of hummus (about 4 to 5 lbs.), as I first created it at my job (a health food store), where such is necessary. However, I am sure that by simply reducing the quantity of each ingredient you will get the same great taste, but in a smaller batch.
== Ingredients ==
* 4 cans of chickpeas
* juice of 2 lemons
* 1 bunch of parsley
* 7 - 10 cloves of garlic
* sesame tahini
* garlic flavored oil (or olive oil)
* spices of choice I find that the best thing to do is use large quantities of: cumin, basil, onion powder and garlic powder, along with small amounts of: ground coriander, paprika, and oregano, and tiny bits of: cayenne pepper and thyme. Make sure spices are well-blended into the mixture.
* 1 large onion
* 1 red pepper
* 1 green pepper
* 1 large carrot
* sea salt
== Directions ==
# Drain and rinse the chickpeas and set aside.
# Peel the garlic and chop it up a little bit before placing it in the food processor.
# Chop some of the stems off of the parsley before placing it in the food processor.
# Add lemon juice and blend.
# Add about ½ of the chickpeas, 2 - 3 tbsp. tahini and 2 tbsp. oil and blend. 
# Add remaining chickpeas and blend again, with more oil if needed. Mixture should be creamy, but fairly thick.
# Season to taste with spices of choice, along with salt and pepper if desired. 
# Chop veggies and add to mixture, ½ at a time (half of the combined veggies at a time, not half of each one).
