Hummus with Pita Chips

Ingredients:

• 4 to 6 rounds pita bread
• 1 can (15 oz.) garbanzo beans (chick peas), drained, liquid reserved
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 or 2 cloves garlic
• Salt and Pepper
• Chopped parsley or chives for garnish

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Cut each round of pita bread into 8 wedges. Lay the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or let cool. The pita wedges can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.

Meanwhile, combine the beans, lemon juice and garlic in a blender or food processor. Whirl, adding reserved bean liquid as needed, until mixture is smooth. Season with additional lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with parsley. Pass the toasted pita chips separately for dipping into hummus.
