Hummus
A fantastic-tasting Middle Eastern dish to be used as a dip or as a filling in pita sandwiches. An excellent source of complete protein and, now, essential fatty acids.

1-15 oz. can or 1 2/3 cups cooked garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
1/4 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
3 tbsp. Liquid Flax Seed oil
1/4 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. paprika
2 tbsp. minced fresh parsley for garnish
3 tbsp. lemon juice
2 medium cloves garlic
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 cup minced scallions
dash of cayenne

In a blender or food processor, process the garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, and flax oil until the mixture reaches the consistency of a coarse paste. Use as much of the garbanzo liquid or water as needed.
Add the garlic, coriander, cumin, paprika, and cayenne and blend thoroughly.
Transfer the hummus to a bowl and stir in the scallions.
Cover the hummus and refrigerate.
Garnish with parsley before serving.
Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
