    Hummus - Chick Pea Dip

    Source of Recipe

    Unknown


    2 c chick peas, soaked and cooked or canned, drained and rinsed
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    3 T lemon juice
    ¼ c water
    3 T tahini (sesame paste)
    ½ to 1 t cumin
    ½ t paprika

    Place the cooked chick peas (it's ok if they're still warm) in the food processor along with the garlic, lemon juice, and water. Process for about a minute, until smooth. If too thick, add more water.

    Stir in the tahini and spices, taste, and add more lemon juice/tahini/cumin/paprika as appropriate.

    Spread the hummus into a shallow bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with lemon slices and minced parsley.

    Serve chilled, with warm pita bread and/or fresh vegetables.

    Yield about 2 cups
