Jeff's Mediterranean Hummus

Jeff created this recipe for hummus a few years ago.  He scientifically adjusted the amount of each ingredient until it tasted like his favorite store bought hummus.  I think his version is much better.  I don't know if it is the quality of the ingredients or what, but it tastes richer and creamier than anything I've every had from a store.  This recipe is delicious!  Leif has been known to put the pita aside and just eat it with a spoon.  Enjoy!

1 – 16 oz can of chick peas
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 large garlic clove (careful! Fresh garlic is way more strong)
3/8 cup tahini (could cut this in half)
1/2 tsp salt
¼ c. olive oil
1 Tbsp dry parsley (this is asthetic only)
1/8 tsp cayenne
3/8 cup water

Blend until smooth in a food processor or blender.  Eat with pita, fresh veggies or spread on a sandwich.
