Great Hummus, if I do say so myself

2 cloves of garlic
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 19 oz tin chick peas, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup tahini
Juice of 1 lemon or lime (2 tbsp)
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 - 1/2 tsp chilli powder (to taste)
Water

With a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic and sea salt to a paste. In a blender or food processor, puree the chick peas, garlic paste, tahini, lemon/lime juice, olive oil and spices. Add water to achieve desired consistency.

Serve with Turkish bread or pita.
Stores well in fridge for several days.
