HUMMUS-a chick-pea cream with garlic
Credit must go to FAMILLE CORPET where I discovered this online, site includes interesting hummus facts.  Recipe takes about 10 minutes
1.  Take standard (530 g.) can of chickpeas/garbanzo beans.  Cut 4 holes in one side of can, open other, rinse under faucet. This is really a clever approach.  Let drain.
2.  Put peas in blender or food processor.  Add juice of two fresh lemons.  Blend until mix 
becomes creamy.
3.  Add 1/2 c. of olive oil. Continue to blend.
4.  While blending, prepare 2 to 4 big cloves of garlic. 
5.  Stop the blender and crush the garlic in a press on top of hummus.
6.  Wait 3 minutes for crushed garlic to mature and mix again.  
(Maturing is always  important, I have waited until now to even begin!)    
7.  Serve it cold.  DELICIOUS and garlic-y.
Also tasty with cumin powder, or use olive oil with red chilli pepper soaking in it.  
TAHINI is not used in this recipe.
