Drain & rinse chick peas/garbanzos, reserving liquid.
In small bowl, combine cumin, coriander, cayenne (use less if you don't want it very spicy, but we like it with 1/2 tsp),& salt, mixing thoroughly.
Put garbanzo beans/chick peas in bowl of food processor with chopping blade,& sprinkle the spice mixture over the top evenly.
Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic,& roasted red peppers, and blend until well mixed.
Add the fresh ground pepper.
Once the hummus gets smooth, add some of the reserved liquid from the chick peas/garbanzos while it is being processed, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Serve with toasted pita bread or as a dip or spread with almost anything.
