Speaking of Hummus - how about a recipe?? About This Page:

I just bought some chickpeas and some tahini and need a good recipe. Anyone have one? My taste buds would sure appreciate it!!

I'm lazy (and cheap, no tahini here!) and use Alton Brown's Turbo Hummus recipe (I also use 1/3 cup peanut butter and a bit less olive oil, but that's b/c I PB!):

2 to 3 cloves garlic
1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and liquid reserved
2 to 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
A handful fresh parsley leaves
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Pinch kosher salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil.

Chop the garlic finely in a food processor. Add the beans and 1/2 of the reserved liquid and process finely or to desired consistency. Add the peanut butter, parsley, lemon zest and juice, black pepper, and salt. Process until it forms a paste. Drizzle in the olive oil and process until it reaches the consistency of mayonnaise.
