1 15 ounce can of chickpeas drained, 2 tablespoons of liquid reserved (you may reserve a few beans to sprinkle over the hummus)
¼ cup tahini
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 - 2 tablespoons reserved liquid from the beans
1 very small garlic clove, pressed (scant ¼ teaspoon)
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
few grinds of black pepper
few dashes of cayenne pepper
Preparation
Place chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon reserved bean liquid, garlic, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If the hummus seems too thick, add the other tablespoon of reserved bean liquid and process for a few seconds. Taste and add more salt and cayenne pepper if you desire.
Before serving, drizzle a little olive oil over the hummus and sprinkle with a bit of cayenne pepper or paprika and reserved garbanzo beans. Serve with pita chips.
