Happy Lemon-y Hummus

1 can (approx. 2 cups) garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas), drained, liquid reserved
¼ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Juice of 1 large lemon
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional
Put everything except parsley in food processor or heavy-duty blender. Begin to process until
smooth, adding bean liquid, a tablespoon at a time, as needed to produce a smooth
consistency. Serve with parsley, a dash of cumin, and a swirl of olive oil on top! Great with pita
bread, chips, and veggies.
