Bean dip, dressed up. Serve it at parties and people will think you're fancy.

Yield: 10
Prep time: Under 15 Minutes
Cook Time: Under 15 Minutes
Course: Dips/Spreads

Ingredients:

• 2 cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• cayenne pepper
• crushed red pepper
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• olive oil

Instructions:

Throw all of the above into your food processor and blend into a paste.  Slowly add olive oil and the water that you drained from the can of beans until the hummus is nice and smooth... not too thick, not too runny.
