Hummus Appetizer Recipe

This protein-rich dip is the most famous appetizers in the Middle East. You can also put Hummos on fish, meat and chicken or have it as a side dish. Tahini is creamy liquid ingredient, which you can either find in grocery stores specially Arabic stores or in department stores beside Peanut Butter.

Ingredients
1-3/4 cups cooked Chickpeas
1/2 cup Sour cream or yogurt
1/4 cup Water
2 cloves Garlic crushed with salt
1/4 cup Tahini
1/3 cup Lemon juice
1 or 2 tbs chopped Fresh mint (optional)

Directions
Add all the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Add additional tahini and/or lemon juice if necessary until you have achieved a flavor and consistency that suits your taste. This texture should be thinner than mashed potatoes but with enough body to hold an edge.
