Hummus with bacon

250 g  (9 oz) chickpeas, boiled until soft (or use canned) and peeled
4 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
1 lemon's juice
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
300 ml water (if possible, use chickpeas' boiled water)
1/2 teespoon salt
1/2 teespoon sugar
3 - 4 bacon slices
cayenne pepper or paprika

Put chickpeas in a food processor; mill until it is smooth and flour-like. Add tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, sugar and salt and mix them. 
Add water and continue mixing untill it gets a runny consistency (nearly same as tahini).

Pour this mixture on to a pan and heat it very slowly untill it gets warm.
In a different pan, put the butter, bacons and paprika and saute them.

Take hummus to a flat serving plate and pour bacons with melted butter on the hummus. Serve it hot.
