Ingrediants:

• 1.5 cups canned chickpeas
• Juice of one large lemon
• 6 Tbsp sesame seed paste (tahini)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• salt and pepper
• chopped fresh cilantro and black olives, to garnish

Directions:

1. To make the hummus, first drain the chickpeas, reserving a little of the liquid. Put the chickpeas and liquid in a food processor and blend, gradually adding the reserved liquid and lemon juice. Blend well after each addition until smooth.
2. Stire in the sesame seed paste and all but 1 tsp of the olive oil. Add the garlic, season to taste, and blend again until smooth.
3. Spoon the hummus into a serving dish. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top, and garnish with chopped cilantro and olves. Cover and chill in the refrigerator.
