      Title: HUMMIS BI TAHINI
  Categories: Pulses and, Salads, Sauces and, Vegetarian
       Yield: 1 Servings
  
     1/2 c  Sesame Seed Paste --
            (tahini)
     1/3 c  Water
     1/4 c  Olive Oil
       6 tb Lemon Juice
       4    Cloves Garlic -- peeled
       2 cn Garbanzo Beans -- well
            Drained
     1/2 ts Ground Cumin
       1 ts Coriander Seeds
            Salt -- to taste
  
   Combine first five ingredients in food processor and blend until
   smooth. Add chickpeas and seasonings and blend to puree. Taste and
   adjust flavors to suit (I usually like a little more lemon.).
   
   The mixture you get before adding the chickpeas is also delicious,
   although extremely strong in garlic
   :>).  Use a bit less garlic, thin with water and you've got a
   delicious salad dressing.  Unfortunately, a very high fat salad
   dressing, though.
