Ingredients:

2 Cans of garbanzo beans (chick peas)

8 oz of Sesame Tahini (half a jar)

3-4 cloves of garlic (to taste)

4-8 (to taste) freshly squeezed limes (you could use lemons)

Sea Salt to taste (I use a little less than 2 teaspoons)

Water

I first tried Hummus about 7 or 8 years ago. I cannot recall who introduced me to it but it was either my brother or our friend Lili. 

If you've never had it I suggest giving it a shot. Now that I am (mostly) vegetarian this is one of the staples of my diet.

...and it is so simple to make.

Get your food processor out.

Add the following items one at a time (in order) and crank the food processor: garlic, garbanzo beans, Tahini (found near peanut butter at some stores), lime juice, and salt. Now add water until it reaches the desired consistency.

I prefer mine a bit runny.

Serve and if you like add a little paprika, dried basil and olive oil.

I like mine with crostini (as shown) but you can serve it with bread or vegetables. I added some kalamata olives to mine in the picture.

Hummus also makes a wonderful sandwich spread.
