(Garbanzo beans can be tricky and can require as much as 2 hours to cook so keep testing them. You want the beans tender but not mushy).
• Drain and cover with cool water. Agitate the beans to remove as many of the skins as possible. They will separate and float to the surface and can be removed with a small strainer (this will make the texture of your hummus nice and smooth).
• Drain the beans and allow them to cool completely.

(If using a jarred pepper, simply stem, seed and chop.)
• In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, basil, garlic, lemon juice and chili powder. Process until combined.
