Very Yummus Hummus - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (15 1/2 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans, drained reserving about a 1 tbsp of drained liquid)
    1 large lemon, juice of
    extra virgin olive oil
    1/4 cup tahini paste (sesame paste)
    2 -4 garlic cloves, crushed
    1 -2 teaspoon ground coriander
    1 -2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    paprika (to garnish)
Preparation
    Place the drained chickpeas, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
    Add reserved liquid, tahini, lemon juice and 1/3 cup of Olive Oil and process until smooth consistency is reached. (Gradually add a Tablespoon of Olive oil at a time until light and fluffy texture is reached if necessary).
    Add remaining spices.
    Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to let flavors blend. Best if made the day before and given 24 hours in refrigerator.
    I like to serve the hummus in a clear glass bowl. I drizzle extra virgin olive oil over top and sprinkle with a little paprika. Serve with fresh pita bread, pita chips, crackers, and/or veggies.
