This is a pretty good hummus recipe. We always like to keep a couple cans of chick peas on hand, especially in the summer time, so we can whip up a batch at a moments notice. We keep a large jar of tahini in the fridge which will make many batches of hummus.

2 15 ounce cans of chick peas
2/3 cup tahini
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cloves garlic (I substitute a little garlic powder if I don't have any fresh on hand)

Toss it all in a food processor and blend until smooth. Sometimes I might add a few dashes of Tabasco. It is also really good if you garnish it with finely minced parsely.

We had left over pork kabobs from yesterday. I toasted half a piece of pita bread, spread a few tablespoons of hummus inside and then put some cold pork into it. Delicious. It sounds really simple, but the tastes add up to something quite greater than the sum of their parts. Try it.
