i have been enjoying making hummus (hummous)
you do it in a blender. no cooking required
(unless you start with raw garbanzos then
you would have to cook them first..)

1 can garbanzo or chick peas
1 clove garlic
juice of a lemon or 1/2 cup
1/4 olive oil
1/3 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
some fresh parsley
pinch salt
dash paprika

whiz it all together until smoothe
and use as spread, dip, sandwich fillng or dressing
