Hummus



The secret to making creamy hummus? Use lots of tahini!

1 can chickpeas
1 meyer lemon
a few pinched of salt
1/4 jar tahini
olive oil

Strain chickpeas from can liquid--save the liquid and do not wash (because there is lots of flavor in the liquid). Blend these ingredients: chickpeas, juice from 1 lemon, tahini, a few pinches of salt, a drizzle of olive oil. Add the reserved chickpea liquid as needed to achieve the proper consistency.

Optional: Serve garnished with smoked paprika and/or roasted pine nuts, and a drizzle of olive oil.
