2 – 14 oz cans garbanzo beans, drained (reserve the liquid)
4 tablespoon tahini sesame seed paste ( found in foreign foods section)
4 tablespoon Smoked olive oil (Char prefers pecan flavor)
4 cloves garlic, peeled & diced
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sea salt or table salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:
In a blender, combine ingredients one at a time.  If consistency is too thick, add a small amount of reserved bean liquid. 
You may adjust the other ingredients to taste.  Place in bowl & garnish with a dash of paprika.  Serve with crackers or crusty bread.  Be creative and ENJOY! — Char
