Hummus in the Park

I love making homemade hummus, it taste great, super healthy, simple and impressive
What you need:

2 tbsp Tahini paste (sesame seed puree) must have

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 can chickpea reserve a small amount of liquid and drain the rest

2 garlic cloves dice fine and cook in olive oil for a couple minutes on low heat

1 tsp olive oil

I like to add some ground red pepper for heat and parsley flakes, some like to add paprika etc.
Mix all ingredients together using a blender, food processor, emulsion blender etc. add more oil or reserved chickpea juice to make as smooth or chunky as you desire. Serve with fresh cut veggies, pitas, and crackers whatever you prefer. Hummus is an excellent summer picnic item.
