Preparation
    Drain& rinse chick peas/garbanzos, reserving liquid.
    In small bowl, combine cumin, coriander, cayenne (use less if you don't want it very spicy, but we like it with 1/2 tsp),& salt, mixing throughly.
    Put garbanzo beans/chick peas in bowl of food processor with chopping blade,& sprinkle the spice mixture over the top evenly.
    Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic,& roasted red peppers, and blend until well mixed.
