Jamie and I own a graphic design business. One of our clients owns a Persian restaurant with a terrific Hummas appetizer. This inspired us to try our own hand at it. After trying many recipies, we've created this version with an array of the ingredients we liked best from what we tried. Here's my recipe, not too bad if I do say so myself!

SERVES 8 -12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained (but save a little juice to add)
3 tablespoons tahini (sesame-seed paste, can't be substituted)
3 tablespoons virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
pita bread
fresh basil
thinly sliced onion, soaked in water (to take some of the bite away)

Directions

1
In a food processor or blender add the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, heavy cream, orange juice and honey. Blend. Add garbanzo beans and blend until really smooth. Add salt to taste. Refridgerate an hour or two and then serve on warm pita bread topped with basil and onion slices. Makes a nice breakfast snack or appetizer too. Enjoy!
