In lou of Lent, I thought we should post some "veggi" foods... since we are supposed to be fasting from meat and dairy. If you have a chance to go to a middle eastern store to get Tahini, DO IT! it's worth it. I usually use the glass jarred Tahini's... usually the brand "MidEast"
1 19oz can chickpeas or garbanzo beans, liquid saved and set aside
1/4 cup sesame seed past (Tahini)
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup lemon juice (or to taste)
Combine all the above ingredients in a food processor, adding only enough of the reserved liquid to meet your satisfaction...(the more liquid added, the thinner the dip). Blend for 2-3 minutes to a smooth consistancy.
*Place in a shallow bowl or on a platter, smooth out. Take a spoon and add little divits in the hummus. Sprinkle with good olive oil and garnish center with parsley sprigs, lemon wedges, or a tomato rose.
Serve with Pita Bread (also worth getting fresh at a middle eastern store)
