Hummus

I served the hummus with pita chips and bread.  A tasty, healthy snack that is incredibly easy to make.  



2 garlic cloves
2 cups canned chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)
3 TBSP freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon), or to taste, plus zest
2 TBSP water or liquid from the chickpeas
8 dashes hot sauce

In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, drop the garlic down the feed tube; process until it's minced. Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and process until the hummus is coarsely pureed. Taste, for seasoning, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
