Easy Hummus Recipe

The basics of this hummus recipe came from my friend Joan.  Great with bagel chips or warm naan as a snack, or with veggies as a quick lunch.  The hardest part of this recipe is finding the tahini in the supermarket.

Ingredients
16 oz can garbanzo beans, drained (reserving 1/4 cup liquid) and rinsed
1/4 cup liquid from can
juice from 1 lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini paste
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 roasted red pepper strips (optional)

Directions
Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor.  Blend for 3-5 minutes on low until thoroughly mixed and smooth. Add up to 1/4 cup of water if needed.

Refrigerate.
