Quick Hummus

== Description ==
Garbanzo bean dip
== Ingredients ==
* 1 can of garbanzo (ceci) beans
* 1 medium-sized clove of garlic (or ½ of a big clove)
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 3 tablespoons sesame seed paste (tahina)
* 3 tablespoons of lemon juice
* a pinch of cayenne (red) pepper
== Directions ==
# Strain the garbanzo beans, reserving the liquid.
# Put the garbanzo beans and all of the other ingredients in a blender.
# Blend on high for about 20 seconds.
# Turn off the blender and stir the mixture with a spoon.
# Add from the reserved liquid, 1 spoon at a time, just enough to get the mixture to run smoothly in the blender (you will not need to add all of the liquid)
# Run the blender for about 20 seconds after each addition of liquid. The final product should be thick, not runny.
# Spoon into a bowl or plate. Drizzle with more olive oil if desired.
# Serve with grilled meats or spread in sandwiches.
# For a light dinner, serve along-side a plate of finely chopped tossed salad.
# Eat with pita or other soft flat bread, using the bread to grab the hummus dip and salad (without the use of spoon or fork).
