Hum­mous

Hum­mous
(serves four as an appe­tizer with toasted bread and crudites)

1 410-gram [soup size] can chick peas (also known as gar­banzo beans)
1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste, in for­eign or Mid­dle East­ern sec­tion of shops)
3 whole cloves gar­lic
juice of 1 lemon
salt to taste
1 cup olive oil, maybe more

Sim­ply put all this in the Cuisi­nart and turn it on, puls­ing occa­sion­ally and scrap­ing the chick peas away from the sides. Then, if you want to, pour some more olive oil on the top and leave it. The fla­vors will improve. To this you can add any num­ber of improve­ments like red bell pep­pers, lit­tle chunks of avo­cado, spinach, cilantro, you name it. And it’s good for you.
