Patrice's (sister, Patty's) Famous Hummus

2 cans of garbanzo beans, drained but KEEP the juice
2 lemons juiced, additional lemon if not lemony enough to taste
1 garlic clove minced or more if you love garlic (TJ's 1 frozen cube)
1/3 c tahini (sesame paste)
1-2 tsp salt.....start with 1 tsp salt and add as needed
12 quick dashes of tabasco
bean juice as needed for desired consistency

Food processor or blender or Vitamix.....add ingredients and puree away!  Taste and tweak as needed.

Refrigerate....ok to make a couple days ahead.

Delicious served with fresh carrot sticks, cucumbers and my fave is yellow peppers.  Also loved with pita chips, crackers, tortilla chips or whatever carb floats your boat!
