Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 tb Safflower Oil
2 tb Chopped Onion
1 x Clove garlic, minced
1/4 c Minced fresh parsley
1 ts Basil
1/4 ts Ground Coriander
1/4 ts Oregano
1/4 ts Black pepper
15 oz Can drained Chick Peas
3 tb Lemon juice
2 tb Toasted Sesame seeds

GARNISH: lemon wedges, cherry tomatoes, or fresh parsley sprigs (opt)
In a small skillet, heat oil; saute onion and garlic until onion is
softened. Add seasonings. Stir just long enough to soften parsley. In
food processor, combine rinsed and drained chick peas and lemon
juice; process until smooth. Stir in onion and herb mixture; stir in
sesame seeds. Spoon into serving bowl. Top with garnish if desired.
Makes 1 1/2 cups VARIATIONS: - substitute 15-oz can Great Northern
beans for chick peas. Use only 2 T lemon juice, since this is a
moister bean. - replace chick peas with 1/2 lb firm tofu (1 cup) and
1/2 cup tahini; use only 1 T lemon juice and add 1 T soy sauce.
