Lebanese Hummus
This is a fusion of Middle Eastern and South Asian tastes. You haven't lived till you've tried it. It goes good as veggie or naan or pita bread dip, or even in spoonfuls straight from the bowl. We like this recipe so much we have to triple it to make sure it isn't all eaten right after being put out.

DIRECTIONS
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mash or food process till smooth, adding reserved liquid as necessary to make a semi-thick paste.
- Adjust the salt and lemon; they should contrast and enhance each other to wake up your palate but not overpower.
- Sprinkle paprika over top and add a small handful of reserved chickpeas to decorate in an attractive design.
- Best if left in the refrigerator over night for spices to blend.
