Hummis Bi Tahini

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. Craig Claiborne's Favorites from the New York Times, vol. 3.
