Hummus Dip

This is a recipe from my friend Joanne in Canada.  I always have store-bought hummus in my fridge, so it was nice to whip up a home-made batch.  You can add ingredients like chopped black olives, roasted red peppers or finely chopped grilled artichokes to create your own unique flavors.

Ingredients

1 can of chick peas - drained
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp cumin
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbs tahini - raw
3 Tbs lemon juice
1 Tbs olive oil

Method

Put all the ingredients in a food processor.  Puree till smooth.
Serve with Pita bread wedges or crackers.

Notes

Tahini is made from ground sesame seeds and olive oil.
You can usually find it at the grocery store in the salad dressing aisle.
