Tim's Hummus

Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 15oz can chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
• 2-3 tablespoons water or liquid from the chickpeas
• 4 dashes hot sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon of cumin and or paprika
• Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Directions

1. Put everything except the parsley in a food processor and begin to process; add the chickpea liquid or water as needed to allow the machine to produce a smooth puree.
2. Taste and adjust the seasoning (I often find I like to add much more lemon juice). Serve, drizzled with the olive oil and sprinkled with a bit more cumin or paprika and some parsley.
