Quick, delicious and full of protein. We sometimes have this for lunch with rice crackers or spread on pita wraps with vegetables. It's lovely to serve as a dip for potlucks and parties too. Garnish with a couple of kalamata olives or a sprig of cilantro if you want to get fancy,

1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans). You can use canned and drained or cooked from dry.
3 Tbsp tahini (sesame paste.) If you don't have tahini, you can grind your own sesame seeds and use that.
3 Tbsp lemon juice (fresh is best but from concentrate will do)
3 Tbsp olive oil, more if you want a runnier consistency
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 tsp ground cumin
salt to taste

Place all ingredients in a food processor or a powerful blender and puree. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.
