Directions
From: The Jewish Holiday Cookbook, Gloria Kaufer Greene Put the chick peas, oil, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and water into a food processor (fitted with a steel blade) or a blender. Process until smooth, scaping down the sides of the container a few times. (With a blender, it may be necessary to add 1 to 2 tablespoons more water to avoid clogging the blades.) Add the seaonings to taste.
Spoon the humus into a small serving dish and refrigerate for several hours. Take out and bring to room temperature. Sprinkle a few drops of olive oil on top before serving. Accompany the humus with pita bread triangles.
