Yields: 2 cups approximately
Ingredients

Directions
- Place the drained chickpeas, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.

- 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.
