1/4 cup Olive oil 

2 tbsp. Tahini 

8 artichoke hearts quarters  (marinated)

6 fresh basil leaves

3 garlic cloves

1 tbsp. lime juice

3 spring onions (green onions) I used only the green parts of the onion

1 cup vegetable stock

cracked salt & pepper to taste

1. Drain chick peas well. Rinse with cold water in a wire mesh sieve and drain well.
2. Add all ingredients into the processor except vegetable stock.
3. Processes until large pieces are gone. Scrape the sides of the processor bowl down.
4. Continue to process and add vegetable stock until the hummus is at the desired consistency. This stage is up to you and your personal taste.
