Humous

1/2 cup tahini
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 - 1/2 cup warm water
1 clove garlic
2 cups chick peas, drained and rinsed
1/2 tsp salt
black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
parsley, olives, and tomatoes (optional)

Mix all ingredients in a food processor until smooth.  Pour some olive oil on top for that authentic look.  You may want to garnish with parsley, olives and/or tomatoes, too.

** We got this recipe from Mike's Arabic teacher at BYU.  It tastes pretty authentic.
