With the motor running, add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a thin steady stream, then add 1 tablespoon of water, and continue to process until mixture loosens. Repeat with another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of water, and process for 1 full minute, until mixture is very smooth. For a looser hummus, add a little more olive oil and water.
