Homemade Hummus!!

I've been cleaning out the pantry this week. Winter is coming and I want to make sure I don't have any old cans or food up in there!
A staple of  my pantry has always been cans of garbanzo beans, (chickpeas).
They're a fantastic addition to so many different dishes!  Salads, pastas, currys, casseroles!!
If you're feeling super adventurous, you could even whip up some falafel or chickpea patties.   If they really get you going, you could get chickpea flour for baking!  Gluten free!
Garbanzos are a massive source of fiber, and naturally have a lot of protein, folate, and zinc!
Anyway, enough of the chickpea praising.  
On to the Hummus!

You will need:
A food processor (mine is a mini)
1 can of garbanzo beans
1 tablespoon bean liquid
1 lemon (juiced)
3 cloves of garlic (peeled)
1 teaspoon of salt 
3 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
1 tablespoon sriracha (optional, or any hot sauce)

Drain the beans and be sure to preserve a few tablespoons of the liquid!!

Throw the garlic into the food processor, and pulse it until minced.  
After that, put in the remaining ingredients and blend until coarse.

Taste!  If you think it needs anything else, just throw it in and blend it again.
More salt? Add it!
More spicy? Add it!

When it's all blended to a smoothish consistency, transfer it to a sealable container, drizzle a little olive oil on top.  Maybe even sprinkle some chili powder!  Refrigerate or serve!
Enjoy!

You can chill it and it will keep for up to 2 weeks.
It's such a great base for so many things.  Add some fresh herbs!  Add some roasted red pepper. Add some roasted garlic!  So many options.  What kind of hummus would you make?
