AUTHENTIC HUMMUS
This recipe is from my dear friend, Elias, and his family. They are from the Middle East and this recipe is a staple for them. It has just the right balance of flavours.

Steps:
- Drain and rinse garbanzos. Do NOT use can juices for the liquid in this recipe. They 'muddy' the flavour of the end result.
- Put garlic, tahini and salt in a blender or food processor and buzz until ingredients are well mixed (10-15 seconds).
- Add garbanzo beans (one can at a time) and blend after each addition. You can reserve a few whole beans for garnish.
- Add lemon juice and blend.
- Add as much water as you need for the consistency you like. I usually use it all, unless the lemon is ultra juicy.
- Spread hummus on a flat plate. Create a bowl shape by elevating the edges with hummus.
- Drizzle olive oil over the hummus, sprinkle with paprika and garnish with reserved whole beans and chopped parsley.
- Serve with flat Arabic bread. It's nice to toast the bread lightly in the oven.
