1 medium garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving

You're gonna love this....
Put everything in a food processor and whiz up till smooth. Taste. Adjust seasonings. That's it!
For best flavour, let the hummus chill out in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes. Serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika or some fresh chopped parsley, and a few good Kalamata olives. Goes well with your choice of fresh veggies, or pita bread (or both!).
NOTE: If you're not a fan of curry powder, simply omit it and enjoy traditional hummus instead.
