chickpea or whitebean hummus

this recipe can be made with either chickpeas or white beans. i use dry beans b/c it's cheaper, but you can also use canned.

1c dried beans, soaked overnight, and boiled in salted water until tender

blend in food processor with:
juice of 1/2 lemon
1tbs tahini
parsely
garlic, as much as you like (roasted red peppers can also be substituted)
chili flakes
salt
pepper
2tbs water

stream in olive oil (as you would to make pesto) until hummus comes to the desired consistency
