Lemon Garlic Hummus

Sara Lawlor never disappoints when entertaining, and this gem is no exception. This simple recipe gives those without a lot of creative drive a chance to experiment, since the quantities are not well defined. I've also left the recipe in the same form in which she first described it to me.

1 can chick peas
garlic, crushed
lemon juice (about a whole lemon)
tahini (or sesame oil)
olive oil

I just mash up a can of chickpeas, and then add crushed garlic to taste, lemon juice, and if you have seseme seed paste use a bit of that (it's called tahini, I think). I don't use tahini because it is expensive and I can't use the whole jar. Then add some olive oil, and if it is too thick add a bit of water, or more lemon juice. I have never actually used a recipe, but that's what I put in.
