Chickpea Dip (Hummus)

• 1 can chick peas, drained and rinsed
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp tahina (sesame seed paste)
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• fresh juice from 1/2 lemon
• 1 garlic clove mashed
• sprinkle of salt

1. Blend everything together in a food processor.
2. If consistency is too dry, add more olive oil or a spoon of water.

To serve, spread hummus on a large flat plate and garnish with: cumin, paprika, zatar, parsley, and some whole chick peas. Drizzle with olive oil and eat with pita.

Tip: To mash garlic you can use a mortar and pestle, or a plastic bag and bottle. Sprinkle some salt on the garlic before mashing it, as this will make it easier to handle.
