Having just moved back from Jordan, i had to perfect a recipe for hummus, the fast food of Jordan. I finally got the texture righ even while using canned chick peas. Two secrets- finding the right brand of chickpeas and adding some ice to the final mix for a smooth texture (this is the authentic trick i brought back with me ). Hummus restaurants use citric acid instead of lemon juice, but lemon juice is always available. I use storebought bottled lemon juice.

Steps:
- Empty two cans chickpeas onto medium saucepan with juices. Cover with water and heat to a boil to soften beans.
- Drain beans well. Put in food processor and mix until fairly smooth. Scrape as necessary.
- Add tahini, salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
- Process until incorporated.
- Scrape down bowl and add lemon juice. Process again.
- Add olive oil and process until smooth.
- Finally add ice and continue processing to a very smooth texture without becoming runny.
- Serve on a plate with more olive oil. Sprinkle with paprika. Serve with warmed pita bread.
