Hummus bi Tahini

Ingredients
15 oz garbanzo beans
1/4 cup tahini
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp cumin
1 dash black pepper
4 cloves garlic
Directions
  1. Drain the beans (I usually use canned for convenience) and save the liquid.

  2. Put the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and spices in a blender and mix.

  3. Add the beans and garlic (slowly if your blender isn't strong) and puree until smooth.

  4. Add some of the bean liquid and mix until you get the desired consistency.

  5. Serve with warm pita bread. If you want to decorate your dish of hummus, drizzle a mixture of olive oil and paprika over it and/or granish with parsley.
