humus - turkish version Recipe

a tin of cooked chick peas (about 200 g)
tahini (sesame paste)
juice of 3 lemons
100 ml olive oil
garlic (optional)
salt
ground chilli pepper

skin the chick peas. if dried chick peas are used, they need to be soaked overnight, and cooked next day at least for an hour. mash them fine (I use a hand blender). add tahini, salt, crushed garlic (optional), pepper, olive oil and lemon juice. if it is too thick, add more lemon juice.
