Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1 Tbs. liquid from can
1/3 cup finely-chopped onion
1 Tbs. pureed fresh garlic
5 Tbs. fresh, strained lemon juice
5 Tbs. tahini
1 Tbs. olive oil
Extra-virgin olive oil
Paprika, preferably Hungarian
Directions:
Directions:
Drain all but a tablespoon of the liquid from the cans of beans. Put the beans and all the other ingredients except the extra-virgin olive oil and
paprika into a food processor. Process until the mixture is a smooth paste. There can be a few lumps in it, but they should be very small.
Spoon the hummus onto a large platter. With a spoon, work the pile out towards the edges, leaving a rim at the edge like that of a pizza crust.
Pour a thin stream of the extra-virgin olive oil around the top of the hummus, making a design if you like, but not a puddle. Dust the top
lightly with the paprika. Serve with pita bread, toasted and cut into six slices.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Most Lebanese chefs all say to use canned chickpeas. Others say to puree fresh garlic with salt in a food processor and to use a lot of lemon juice.
