2 cans garbanzo beans, chickpeas drained (about 3 cups)

6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp tahini
1 ¼ tsp salt
1 large lime zest
2 large limes, juiced
¼ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp crushed red pepper
½ cup water, hot
parsley, optional

Preparation
Add all the ingredients into the food processor, except for the hot water.
Pulse the mixture for 4 to 5 minutes.
After about 1 minute or so, add the hot water while the processor is still running.
Keep adding water until you get a desired consistency.
Continue to blend everything in the processor until smooth and creamy.
Pour hummus into a container and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
Before enjoying your hummus, drizzle a little bit of extra virgin olive oil on top and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
Add pine nuts and dried parsley if desired.
