  Middle Eastern Dips

Ingredients:
Three cans garbanzo beans drained
Up to one cup juice from beans
Tahini (sesame oil paste)-I buy it at a Lebanese Deli
Three cloves garlic
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
4oz olive oil , plus a little for drizzling
4oz lemon juice
Paprika

Put the beans into a food processor and add 2 soup spoons of tahini, garlic, salt, olive oil and lemon juice. Process for a minute adding liquid from beans to keep the mixture moving. Check for salt and pour the hummus into a serving bowl. It should be smooth, creamy and thick, but not as thick as tomato paste. Garnich with olive oil and paprika. Serve with pita bread.
