Lime Hummus

Hummus

1 Cans Garbanzo beans (drained)
1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons Tahini (Sesame butter)
1 - 3 cloves Garlic (chopped)
1 Lemon or lime
1/3 cup Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

1. Sauté the chopped garlic in oil over a low flame.

2. Juice the lime or lemon.

3. Place all of ingredients in a food processor. Blend well. This could take several minutes. Your hummus will be thick and have a dry consistency.

4. Add good water and blend until desired consistency is achieved.

5. Set the hummus in a service bowl. A few branches of parsley placed on the hummus adds a nice look to the dish.

6. Just before eating make an indent in the center of the hummus plate and pour a small amount of olive oil into the indent.

6. You can eat it right away, but the hummus improves if it sits overnight in the refrigerator.
