Hummus

Easy, low-fat, yummy.  Can't ask for more.  (09/16: Turns out you can ask for more. Our goto hummus recipe is Hummus ala Zahav.  Amazing!)

4 garlic cloves
2 cups canned chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2/3+ cup tahini (sesame paste)
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
2 tablespoons water or liquid from the chickpeas
parsley, chopped
paprika
olive oil

Turn on the food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop the garlic down the feed tube with the salt; process until it's minced. Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and process until the hummus is coarsely pureed.

Taste, for seasoning, and serve chilled or at room temperature.  Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, paprika, and chopped parsley.
