paste

that's what vicki calls hummus. her recipe is the best! we made a batch on thursday and it's already gone! gotta love the paste!

1 16 oz can chick peas or garbanzo beans
1/4 C liquid from can of chick peas
3-5 T lemon juice (i used 3)
1 1/2 T tahini (paste made from crushed sesame seeds)
2 cloves crushed garlic
1/4 tsp salt
2 T olive oil
(i also added a small chunk of roasted red pepper...yummy)

drain chick peas and set aside liquid. combine all ingredients in food processor. blend for 3-5 minutes until thoroughly mixed and smooth.

not only is this recipe delicious, but vicki says that sesame seeds increase sex drive.

enjoy! bow-chicka-wow-wow!

tonight's dinner menu:
sesame seed encrusted tilapia sitting on a bed of sesame seeds, topped with a sesame seed butter and finished with a sesame seed infused balsamic vinegar, served with a white wine and followed up with sesame seed laced brownies, leading to an incredibly frustrating evening spent picking out sesame seeds from my teeth.
