First, the basic
Ten two different versions

Classic Hummus
1  can garbanzo beans or Italian chick peas (meme chose)
1tsp ground cumin
1tsp salt
2cloves fresh garlic minced
3tbsp tahini. Sesame paste
1tsp white pepper
2tbsp plain yogurt
2tbsp lemon juice
4tbsp olive oil
Place beans , tahini , spices and garlic in food processor, pulse until chopped
Add yogurt lemon juice and process with motor running add olive oil through the feed tube until completely blended.
Scoop out into a bowl
Voila

Artichoke hummus
Same recipe as above but use 1 14 oz can artichoke hearts quartered and omit the yogurt
Add more garbanzo beans if consistency is too loose

Sweet red pepper hummus
Same recipe as above but omit the yogurt and add 1 12 to 14oz jar of roasted red peppers drained and chopped
