Chick-pea Dip

Like tehina, hummus was brought to Israel by Jews from Arab countries, though today it is everyone's favorite. It tastes best when eaten with fresh, warm pita bread.
== Ingredients ==
* 2 cups canned chick-peas, drained juice of 2 lemons
* 1 tsp salt
* ¼ tsp cumin
* 3 tbsp pure tahini paste or 1 cup tehina
* 2 garlic cloves, mashed
* 2 – 3 tbsp oil
* parsley (for garnish)
== Directions ==
# Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender, mix until chick-peas are smooth.
# Refrigerate hummus in a covered container.
# Serve well-chilled, with chopped parsley on top.
# If desired, reserve ¼ cup unmashed chick-peas and sprinkle on top.
# More garlic may be added, if desired.
# If pita is not available, crackers or thick slices of French or Italian bread may be used.
