Hummus

This is my mom's friend's recipe. I love it (like most recipes I post) It has a lot flavor unlike some Hummas That taste like paste and it has a good consistency. Make sure not to put too much cayenne or some people think it's unbearably hot (but I still eat it).

• Ready In: 3 hrs 15 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 2  tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped onion

• 2  teaspoons ground cumin
• 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid.
2. Combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, onion, garlic, oil, cumin, pepper and salt in a blender or food processor.
