Hummis bi tahini
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ½ | cup | Sesame Seed Paste -- | 
| (tahini) | ||
| ⅓ | cup | Water | 
| ¼ | cup | Olive Oil | 
| 6 | tablespoons | Lemon Juice | 
| 4 | Cloves Garlic -- peeled | |
| 2 | cans | Garbanzo Beans -- well | 
| Drained | ||
| ½ | teaspoon | Ground Cumin | 
| 1 | teaspoon | Coriander Seeds | 
| Salt -- to taste | ||
Directions
Combine first five ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth. Add chickpeas and seasonings and blend to puree. Taste and adjust flavors to suit (I usually like a little more lemon.). 
The mixture you get before adding the chickpeas is also delicious, although extremely strong in garlic :>).  Use a bit less garlic, thin with water and you've got a delicious salad dressing.  Unfortunately, a very high fat salad dressing, though.
