Rinse chickpeas and put them in the bowl of a food processor.  Begin to process, gradually adding the hot water to obtain a light, spreadable consistency.  Add the lemon juice, garlic, peanut butter, sesame oil, cumin and cayenne and season to taste with salt and pepper.  Process until well blended and smooth.  Mound the spread into a serving bowl or on a platter surrounded by pita chips.  Sprinkle with green onions, cilantro and olive oil.
