 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2   c            Sesame Seed Paste --
                         (tahini)
      1/3   c            Water
      1/4   c            Olive Oil
    6       tb           Lemon Juice
    4                    Cloves Garlic -- peeled
    2       cn           Garbanzo Beans -- well
                         Drained
      1/2   ts           Ground Cumin
    1       t            Coriander Seeds
                         Salt -- to taste
 
   Combine first five ingredients in food processor and
   blend until smooth. Add chickpeas and seasonings and
   blend to puree.  Taste and adjust flavors to suit (I
   usually like a little more lemon.).
   
   The mixture you get before adding the chickpeas is
   also delicious, although extremely strong in garlic
   :>).  Use a bit less garlic, thin with water and
   you've got a delicious salad dressing.  Unfortunately,
   a very high fat salad dressing, though.
