2 cloves garlic
2 cans (15 oz each) chick peas, drained and rinsed
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons tahini
Water as needed

Chop garlic in a food processor fitted with the metal blade.  Add the remaining ingredients and

juice.

Garnish by making a well in the middle of the hummus and filling the indentation with olive oil.
