Hummus: so quick and easy

Why pay for expensive hummus (hamos, houmous, hommos, hommus, hummos, hummous or humus) from the grocery store when it's so very easy to make yourself? You don't even need a recipe, since the proportions are all to taste.
The only things missing from this lineup of ingredients are lemon juice (I forgot to pull out a cube for the photo) and salt and pepper.

Mince some garlic, and shallots if you have them, and brown them in a little olive oil. You can use raw if you like that.

Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid. Put about a fourth of the liquid with the beans in a food processor (I have a little one that's perfect for jobs like this). Add the garlic and onions, a spoonful or two of tahini, a squeeze of lemon juice, and any other seasonings you might like, such as cumin and coriander. A pinch of salt and pepper. Also a drizzle of olive oil. Process until smooth, adding a little more oil if it's too thick, or some lemon juice. Taste it! Adjust the seasoning as desired.
Garnish it with sprinkled paprika and a sprig of green. Put it on sandwiches or eat it as a dip for pita bread and vegetables.

You can try so many variations of this. Roast some red peppers and toss those in. Toast a huge amount of garlic. Grate some fresh lemon zest. Add a little cayenne or tabasco or sriracha for heat. It's all good!
