Barbarian Hummus

Ingredients
  • 400g (or 1 can) of chickpeas, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons roasted red peppers
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup olive oil (depending on necessity and your preferences)
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt, to taste
  • Lime juice, to taste (optional)
  • Paprika, smoked or sweet, to taste (optional)
Instructions
  1. Drain chick peas, reserving 2 tablespoons of liquid.
  2. Roast garlic cloves in a little olive oil, until lightly browned. The more roasting, the sweeter the cloves, so take care if you prefer a more classic "garlic flavor."
  3. Place chick pea liquid, garlic cloves, red peppers, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, and cumin into a food processor or blender and process until combined.
  4. Add chick peas, and process until nearly smooth.
  5. Taste. Add salt, lime juice, and paprika as you prefer.
