HUMMUS

1 - 16 oz can of chickpeas, rinsed
1/4 cup room temperature water
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame tahini
1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Drain chickpeas and rinse in a strainer. Combine remaining ingredients in a food processor. Process for 3-5 minutes until the hummus is thoroughly mixed and smooth.

Place in serving bowl, and create a shallow well in the center of the hummus.

Add a small amount (1-2 tablespoons) of olive oil in the well.

Serve immediately with fresh or warmed pita bread, or cover and refrigerate.
