Hummus

Very easy to prepare and tasty to eat. MM always doubles the garlic. I prefer less bite.

• 1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3-4 T lemon juice
• 3 T tahini
• 1/4-1/2 t salt
• cayenne pepper (or black pepper or cumin)

1. Dump beans, SOME of the liquid, garlic, juice, tahini and salt in blender. Blend.
2. Taste. Add more bean liquid, lemon juice, tahini, and/or salt to taste.
3. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with cayenne.
4. Eat with carrot sticks or as spread on sandwich.
