hummus recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 Can Chick Peas
• 1 wedge garlic
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon tahini paste
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon parsley

Preparation:

1. Drain chick peas into cup and save.
2. Put chick peas, garlic, lemon juice and the tahini paste into a blender. Add about 1/4 cup of the juice from the chick peas, BLEND. If needed, add more chick pea juice, in small amounts, while blending, to get the right consistancy. Dip should be a little on the thick side and smooth - not too thick and not too liquidy. Should have a consistancy like any other dip!
3. Spoon out into a dip bowl and sprinkle red pepper and parsley on top. *Red Pepper-optional. If you like the zing then put it on!
4. Serve with potato chips, vegetables or the best is arabic bread (pita bread).

Tip: Tahini can be found in a Greek or Middle Eastern Store. Check your local supermarket
