Super Simple Hummus - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans chickpeas
    1/3 cup lemon juice
    1/4 cup tahini (well stirred)
    2 garlic cloves, chopped
    1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    coarse salt
    extra-virgin olive oil
    paprika
Preparation
    Reserving 1/4 cup liquid from can, drain chickpeas in a colander. Rinse well under cold water then shake off excess water.
    Process chickpeas and reserved liquid, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cayenne, and 1 1/4 tsp salt in food processor.
    Transfer mixture to a serving dish. If desired, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with paprika.
    For variety, I sometimes add finely chopped cucumber (seeds removed and patted dry) and dill. Or I like to add finely chopped olives (black, green, kalamata).
